Not looking at the Concours 14 or the Moto Guzzi Norge? I almost bit on a 14, but am keeping the HD.

I think they may have. I know that the Yamaha still puts some heat on the legs. and so does the concours.

Yamaha fixed the FJR in 2006 with dual fans and cowling that directs the heat away from the legs. My 2005 has the much-talked-about issue with excess heat, but here in Michigan where my average ride temperature is around 60 degrees, I call that a "feature", not a "problem".
I'd bet heavily that Honda's ST1300 will not be a problem with heat. If we lived in Southern California - maybe you should worry. Buy the bike that makes your heart beat faster.
Ride safe. Ride often.
