Most people don't notice it as it has to be dark to see the pipes glow red. But yes, the headers will glow after a while of idling (also the tune on the bike will determine how fast this occurs). My 2007 would glow after about 5 minutes while idling in my garage (especially if I was revving up the engine on and off).
Now...if they went instantly red...there is a problem.

Is it stock? If so, it's set up to run very lean for EPA. Lean=hot. Cheapest fix for that is a set of xieds from Nightrider.com (around $100). They will richen the mixture so that it cools the whole thing. Will run better, too. Not quite as effective as a SERT or some other fuel management system, but a lot cheaper! I've used xieds on several bikes. Highly recommended!
