Hi guys
I don´t know if this has been covered before to the extend I´m looking for but here it goes:

I´m into buying a 04 R1 but my question to the owners especially the ones with aftermarket exhaust is how hot it really gets?
I live in Portugal and summers get really hot around here (35Cº) and I don´t like the idea of burning my ass off like I did for example on the duc999s I test drove the other day.

Also if for some chance I give a ride to a friend (girl) how bearable is it going to get. Can a person handel it or is it going to be almost impossible.

This issue is very important for me so all input regarding this will be much appreciated. :thumbup

"EE8",

It does get hot (when stopped and in traffic) and it's only 72 degrees right now. I'm wondering what will happen in the Summer?

I removed the cat from my stock exhaust after my legs got toasted during a 90 deg F. day. Without the cat there is MUCH less heat on the back of the legs. No sound or power difference I can tell, but the heat is reduced a lot. Still seems a bit warmer than my 02 R1 with the side exit exhaust but not too much more...

There is a slight sound difference. Approx. 1.5-2 decibels. It sounds deeper.
