Never a bother. Have not noticed any heat.

Hey Guth.......I went to the dealer to look at the R9T....I retired in 2014 at 62 and I am selling off 6 of my 10 bikes. I will NEVER sell my CB1100, it will be in my garage long after I can no longer ride. Having said that the 3 bikes I'm keeping are my CB1100, VFR800, Monster S2R1000, and Road King Classic. We trailer the RK to Idaho and my wife and I take numerous rides thru Yellowstone Park. I've never had a Boxer twin and after visiting the dealer I decided the R1200R is the bike that will eventually replace my RK when it just gets too heavy to safely use. The R9T is an awesome bike but my wife insists on some kind of backrest so the R1200R with a Corbin gunfighter and lady seat is the way I'm leaning.....when we ride in Idaho/Montana/Wyoming we take a lot of gear so we need the saddlebags and tail trunk that goes on easily on the R1200R....I will try and post a pic of the bike with the bags/trunk off.

Yeah, that seat on the R nineT doesn't really look all that comfortable for one person, let alone two, lol. Still it is the only BMW that I actually find attractive. There's just something about it that I like. Perhaps fortunately for me, the only time I find myself in a motorcycle shop is when I'm buying parts or supplies (or visiting family in New Hampshire as it turns out). So for me motorcycle "shopping" consists of browsing bikes online. Fortunately I still get pretty fired up every time I lay eyes on either my CB1100 or my old Hawk GT so any lust I might feel for other bikes is fairly insignificant.

"Uhh...I mean "four".
"Uhh...I don't count the Harley as a motorcycle when in the same sentence as the others."
"Math is hard!"
