Where's the outside temperature sensor?

I am curious to know where the temperature sensor might be --it doesn't seem to be affected by wind factors/chill and was curious where they put it so it measures the air temperature without the speed of the bike affecting the readings.

Air movement doesn't affect temperature, so all you want is to have the sensor out of direct sunlight, which will affect the sensor.

If you're thinking of "wind chill", that only affects things that produce heat internally (like humans

) and even then the "wind chill" only determines how quickly you drop to the current temperature.

Yeah, but wind chill is becoming a factor in deciding when I go out for a scoot! Only 9C/48F this morning and promising to get cooler as the week moves on.

brrr

(Time to go shopping for a heated vest!)
