Related to the original question how many PA owners feel their machine is especially hot on the rider? I had two buddies walk away from the bike and buy GS's because they said "it roasted my legs and butt on the test ride."

Took a test ride on the PA ST and previously on the PA S and didn't get a hot booty or legs.

its a hot bike for sure. since the '21 MY they've added some features to deflect the heat. I find if you have those (or aftermarket versions) and add highway pegs its not a huge deal.
