Solution : ride quickly to the next cold beer!

Seriously though, the makers of Trumpet need to sort this out, and offer an aftermarket retrofit solution asap.

Subject: [ST] '05 ST Heat


Brett:
	Welcome to the world of ST exhaust heat. I noticed this on my test ride on a 
lovely cool day (20 degrees C) in May of this year.
	I found the heat to be very uncomfortable and unreasonable and will not buy a 
new ST until this problem is sorted.
	As a rule, I never buy a bike in its first model year of production. There are 
teething problems that must be identified and sorted, and I don't want to be the 
"guinea pig".
	I'm hoping that the exhaust heat and pannier issues will be addressed, 
re-designed, tested and tweaked within the next year. Depending upon what the 
results are, I make my purchase decision. Meanwhile, my '03 ST will serve me 
quite well. It might be a bit warm in the Summers here in the States, but it's a 
far cry cooler than the new models!
Safe riding,
Howard Stephen Serlick
