It's 100 every day in summer, not a problem with any of my bikes. I've been out on I10 at 90+MPH out of Tucson on a 115 degree afternoon. A Gold Wing is NOT a China bike... ...but it was fine. Now, ME, OTOH.......whew. I was glad when I found AC and a cold beer.

I ride mine everyday in 95-105 degree weather in stop and go traffic sometimes. As long as you are moving it is not a problem.

If you get stuck in stopped traffic for more than a few minutes shut the bike down. As long as you are moving it will be fine.
