If it's 72 degrees outside and I just got back from a 15 minute freeway trip at 70mph, As I idle the engine,
shouldn't the radiator fan be running on this '01 Legend?

No, it usually kicks on at very high temperatures.

Mine has only been on when I've turned off the bike in high 80s or 90s temperatures after running an extended amount of time.

Airflow was plenty to keep your motor cool today.

According to Mr Haynes, the thermostat opens at 83c and the fan switch should kick in at 100C.
