Stock Wing cooling systems work fine.
A bike needs a thermostat for the same reason any water cooled engine does, to regulate the minimum engine running temperature.

Adding mercury, sodium, or whatever else you want to a cooling system in an attempt to get it to remove more heat from the engine won't have much effect - for two reasons:

- The thermostat will simply close down to limit the amount of coolant flowing, to prevent too much heat from being removed from the engine (it needs to be a certain temperature to run efficiently!)

- You're limited by the amount of heat that can be transferred to a given volume of air flowing through the radiator, regardless of how much heat is being carried in the coolant
