Actually in Redding California where it constantly goes over 110 in the Summer my brother has complained about it getting hot between the legs. The metal gas tank and metal frame where your legs go to the peg can be a problem when you are running at 220 plus bike temp. My new cbr 1000 has a plastic tank and plastic covering over the frame but part of the engine sticks out (Not nearly as well covered as on a 954) and I have burned my leg through my levi's bad enuff to leave a scab.

It can get pretty warm, especially in traffic.

the 954 frame was designed to pull heat from the engine(to cool the engine), thats where the heat is coming from. if u think the black frame is bad, try the feeling of a polished frame! also the best advice i can give u is get ur legs off of the frame/subframe, u dont have to hug the bike when ur riding threw the city! just gotta deal wit it, im a native texas so heat hardly bothers me except when im wearing shorts in the middle of the summer and i touch my theigh on the frame!

It's too easy to roast the inside of the thighs on the frame and the tank gets a little warmer thanI think it should. The sofa and lazy boys are alright though.. thanks for asking. If it's really a problem for you then maybe an investment in heat shielding would do the trick... Let us know if you make something work...
or..... maybe you could put heat sink fins on the frame......... McGuyver in action....
