Default Undertail Exhaust.. Is it HOT??

Hey Guys.. I was thinking about getting a 06 or 07 CBR 1000 next season, but I heard that there are hot spots with the undertail exhaust. Just howHOT does it get under the *** w/ that exhaust..lol.. I'mthinking with the heat from themotor and theexhaust I'm gonna be getting off that bike well done. I'm thinking on a hot summer day 90 degrees and up I'm gonna be sizzling. Does the factory do a good job isolating the heat?I'm a Honda fan but that undertail exhaust sometimes makes me think I should keep my 929. I know Honda eliminated the undertail exhaust for 08, but the 08 style still has to grow on me. Thanks for any input..

Yeah, I don't really notice a heat difference between undertail and side mount.

It's not any hotter than any other bike, IMO. My old RC51 seat got pretty hot in traffic and it didn't even have an undertail exhaust!

No issues with heat, in fact it is a lot cooler than my 954 was.
