a little slower than on dry, depends of the amount of water on the road, the scary part is not the rain but those guys with rear wheel drive who are dabcing in the middle of the road !

It depends where. In Vegas, slow (due to slick roads and dumbass cage drivers). In Utah, RAILING. Sticky sick roads, and no stupid cagers.

As long as I have good tires, I ride like normal. Just a little smoother on the throttle and brakes.

when my R1 was my only mode of transportation i got caught in the rain quite a few times. I personally didnt really care. as long as you are smooth in your actions and are looking far enough ahead, vegas roads wet arent much worse than vegas roads dry

I try to NEVER ride in the rain. I don't know what it is about rain but it scares the shit out of me... I need to get over that I suppose...

Come ride in Utah with use, those roads grip better in the rain then Vegas roads dry. On a side note OR roads grip great too in the rain

Straight line, a lil slower than normal. On turns, any kind of turns, like a snails pace, I keep the bike as upright as is possible. I think there was only about 2.5 inches of rain this year so it really hasnt been much of a concern.
