    Just took it for another random spin (because I can) and even though today isn't warm... and it's raining a bit... it was reading 102 degrees Celsius on the gauge and feeling very hot between my thighs!! Is this normal?

    If riding in traffic it will get to 102c no problem, as long as the fans come on it won't be a problem

    As said if sat in traffic 102 is not a problem. Neither is the cloud of steam you get when it happens in the rain.

    Enjoy the Blade bet it feels like a rocket compared to the ER6. Stay shiney side up and don't worry about the temp, both my blades used to hit 107 in central London slightly lower in winter. If you do ride in the winter you'll be grateful for warm thighs believe me lol :p
