Heat , insane heat.

The heat has to go somewhere. I'd rather have it radiate out past my legs than stay in the bike. All these solutions do is redirect the heat somewhere else.

Bingo,I'm sure the engineers at Ducati looked long and hard at the problem.
When you take that bike out and ride it, it becomes obvious it was never designed to crawl along in bumper to bumper traffic, and wait at stop lights. It's a ton up bike, and when ridden in the proper fashion heat is not a problem.

I have had only one day in 3 years of riding that was unbearable enough for me to shop new thicker radiators so that event never gets repeated.

I'm sorry Ducati didn't properly engineer for that one day out of 1,095 that you decided to ride a superbike through the desert all afternoon at 35 MPH.

I'm not complaining, do you have the IQ of a fence post?

I'm just stating it can get damned hot on long drives on certain conditions.

It does take a little intellect to follow a long, please try and keep up

Agreed.

But we have guys here who are very satisfied with adding the thicker aftermarket radiators who ONLY do track time, because of the heat issues.

And we cannot always ride it in its proper fashion.

When I'm pushing it I don't have an issue. I don't always have control over such on long trips through places I cannot pass slow traffic.

I follow, ....... I summarized your "not a complaint" in one sentence. Or is that too complex for you?
