You don't wait for the storms to pass: you learn to ride in the rain... :thumbup:

An interesting video. I would recommend you try this and get some practice in before hitting the road on an extended ride in the rain.

Not enough water on the roads for heavy hydroplaning--so IMO--the jury is still out there. Done it twice on my RT's at freeway speeds--and it is not fun. Thank you nanny. :bowdown::bowdown:

He did mention that the Ryker started to "break" its grip when starting out on the wet roads. I would also be a bit concerned about quick stops. Less weight...etc.

Am guessing that the lighter weight will almost make it like a two wheeler in the rain--but a bit better for controlling with the added nanny aboard.

Do have fun, but be aware of what "may" happen.

When a F3 owner is impressed with the Power I really Smile Big.

This is the first video that I have heard someone reference how much the front fenders vibrate. I haven't ridden one yet, but I did get to sit on one, and observed it running. The fenders vibrate a lot. I am also a guy who wants a little more wind protection than this Ryker will offer. But the full jury for me will still be out until I get to ride one for myself. But as of now, I would either look for a used F3 or RSS.
