Pleased to report that the SDR is capable of travelling through circa 15m of 150-225mm road flood water at 40-50mph without deviation or loss of electrics - rider drenched by 3m high' bow' wave, though, during unintentional test.

#5Thought I knew by now where the big one's were but half a mile past Brands Hatch, what used to be surface run-off across the road, wasn't.
Bad as they say here? Maybe but Bangladesh, Katrina, etc, it ain't - have had to remove fifteen big trees though since Christmas.

#7Not split radiator, just damaged rear core face behind fan so amphibious reputation intact.

#8Had me scratching my head on that one. Adventure bikes run thru deep water all the time.

#9Radiator issue is a red herring - still suprised that the battery, etc didn't drown.
