Agreed on the GSXR1K. That thing (09) fit me great.
As for the heat...screw that. I'm in a non perforated leather Jacket and jeans. I'm in the house before the sun gets to high in the sky and temps go into the 90's

I rode about 150 miles with a couple of other riders on Sunday.

Got sprinkled on a couple of times, and I have to admit it felt good

It had to be hot and humid in Florida

It's been 100+ for at least 2 or 3 weeks straight...I ride after work...and on the week-ends...but haven't been riding to work as much as it's miserable to sit on that thing after it's sat out in the parking lot all day and every component on it is super heated.

In the 1950's, thick, clear-plastic seat covers were the rage. I remember as a kid riding back from the beach in the back seat. The covers were so hot, they gave a sunburn through your clothes. But that was from sitting. You have to straddle a hot motorcycle seat. That's why I wear leather pants.

Leather pants on a 95 degree day is crazy, right? Crazy like a fox. Sitting on the hottest saddle, brushing up against a hot, black, metal gas tank, or extreme heat (double the air temp) from a hot engine with leather pants is no worries. Riding with jeans would fry several sensitive areas. Leather pants FTW.

Nope. Haven't even started my bike during the month of July.

It's been over 100 here every day for the past 3-4 weeks. If I didn't ride in the heat, I wouldn't get to ride at all, so yeah, I ride in the heat.

Two completely opposite ends of the spectrum
