i dont know what you guys mean about the 880's in the rain. i rode my america at the NH rally in about 100 miles of steady heavy rain, ask those guys about it. and i never once felt uncomfortable on it. i even thought to myself a few times how planted the bike felt. and these were 880's with like 12k on them.
