The American models were the same. Bolts are there for the oil lines to attach, but no oil cooler. I have pondered adding one, but 2nd guess the need. I am in south Texas, where summers can be brutal, running 38 to 40C for a few months. Having grown up here riding air-cooled singles and twins, of various engine sizes, none of which had oil coolers, I have never experienced an issue. I figure that the dry sump, and external oil tank, aids the cooling a great deal. I have not been particularly anxious to add an oil cooler to the bike, for those reasons. Not exactly an attractive addition to the bike, and to some degree blocks the airflow to the engine itself. If you sat around at traffic lights a great deal, I could see the value. Smart thing for me to do is add a temp gauge to the oil tank, and see what it reads!
I feel a lot more like I do now than I did when I got here!
