i live in nyc and its cold here right now. my comment is this. why is the heat issue so overblown? the bike does get hot if you wear shorts and your in FL so you may do this. if you wear jeans its not hot at all. I does get 100 here in ny and 90s consistently which i do ride in and the bike throws some heat if your wearing shorts. I must admit i do wear shorts but then its for short rides only. the heat comes for me the clutch cover area. you can feel it on your calf badly after about 45 min. i wear riding jeans never had a problem and if your in leathers you wont have a problem either.

Shorts and tennis shoes are not a good idea on this bike it does get hot but should you really be riding a sport bike in this anyway?

There is no "fix" for the heat other than not riding in traffic and wearing proper gear. Jeans/traffic/Florida the bike gets hot regardless of wrap or anything else.......
Have to agree it doesn't sound like the bike for you.
 
This is true, 250 miles is about enough to get me to the nearest twisties and get in a decent ride twice. 248 miles that R1 isn't even due for it's first service yet.
 
I have the race seat, which is thicker, and added heat reflective tape on the bottom of the seat. This has helped with the heat.

There is your answer Lawenforcer! You said it yourself! If you have the money, and the will to ride and enjoy it. It will be worth your while. Worst case you can always resell and with as few bikes have been made worldwide, you won't have a problem reselling... ESPECIALLY in Florida. Don't buy the bike you can live with, buy the one you can't live without
 
Congrats on the new Pani! I hope you ride and enjoy it as much as...well most of us here on this forum!
 
Congrats Lawenforcer...good move there for ordering the 2013 model...that should solve all the minor recalls we had on the 2012 series.

Enjoy your new pride and joy! Best V-Twin purchase ever! You wont regret it!

Oh i read it. My fellow copper was being wishy washy about the whole "buying a Pani" deal.
