Default Cold out lose power?

hey guys just wondering if anyone feels the bike has a loss of power when its cold out and riding.
if i were to ride around 90 degrees out, everything feels normal with a bike temperature of around 190
now if i were to ride it under 70 degrees out with a bike temperature of also 190 it feels as if the bike is not going as fast.
or is it just me?

colder air = denser air = more power

it's in your head.

Ive only been riding bikes for a few months but if there anything like cars you should defiantly gain power. I turboed my GSR integra and it ran AMAZING in the cold much better then hotter weather.

Perhaps your bike isen't adjusting the a/f ratio properly. Cold air = denser. Denser means more air for a given volume which needs more fuel. If your bike isen't adjusting you'll be running lean which could be the lack of power your feeling. With that said Im betting its all in your head and the bike is running better in the cold.
