Absolutely normal. Your right thigh should also be pretty warm at normal operating speeds. Just one of the quirks you'll either love or hate about the Buells.
I have noticed the seat on my 05 firebolt is getting rather warm while running at highway speeds, is this normal? I got the bike as a repo ($5700 with 2700 miles on it) but just started riding it recently. I dont notice the heat unless i am going at least 70mph. I had the local dealer check it out fully do to it being a repo and the only issue was a broken clutch bracket from falling over at the credit union that repo'd it. Any suggestions?

yes its normal there is a fan that draws the air from the engine out right under the seat so you have nothing to worry about
I put a City X seat on my XB1200 and it helped a lot. Also being a old fart it was much more comfortable to ride.:)
