Still wanna argue?

Under hood temps in normally aspirated rotaries run upwards of 400°, above 600° in the turbos.

To quote C4 on page 2
now your already sweating you balls off on top of that you bike is at 225 degrees (kinda high and most bikes when they hit 230 shut off to protect itself.)


Im running almost 3 times hotter then you are.
