Default Driving in the rain?

How do these bikes handle in wet weather? Do the tires have good traction?

Default RE: Driving in the rain?

personally i try and avoid the rain, got caught once last summer no fun, greasy! As far as bikes / tires there are obviously better tires for the rain than others? but im guessing a Busa would be a tad less stable than our bikes? i know the Busa's/gixxer 1Khave a power mode switch on them prob for that reason?

i ride a 600rr and i try and avoid the rain but mine always handled okay. Just take it easy, its not much fun but they arent really made to ride in the rain. Be careful on bends but my bike holds its own in the rain if I get stuck out in it.

its a little scary, but not the end of world if it rains.

last night it poured on us. my friend and I used the opportunity to play around with some drifting and burn outs in the parking lot of hooters.

just be easy on the brakes, gas and turning and you should be ok in the wet.
