Statistic show that if toes left expose - ie wearing slippers, are the first to break in minor accident, even if its a minor tumble or just loose balance lah.

all those that voted no must be riding scooters huh... otherwise where got possible have dry shoes..

even when riding behind another vehicle, all the water flicked up will end up on the rider.

 

i always have wet shoes, but always dry feet. thats more important.

wearing high touring gotex boots and riding tdm.

Thank you for all the reply. So i can said that most bike even S4 will get wet shoes while riding when the floor is wet.

 

Althought i use rain boots, but still once in a while socks will get wet and is too troublesome hehe

 

By the way i am riding phantom ta200.. its hell when the floor is wet. Not only my shoes will get wet, my jean near the shoes will get wet too...

Not only scooters, some of the tourers (e.g. ST1100) have fairings that do a good job at deflecting the water away....

 

Think the BMW boxer engines help to do that to a certain extent as well. But no other bike beats a scooter in this aspect!

I am riding a CBR400. My shoes get slightly wet. My jeans usually stay dry enough. The annoying thing is the water flicked up by the front vehicle. It sprays onto your helmet visor and blurs your vision!

used to ride phantom...once it rains , foot wil definitely get very wet. whereas sportbikes not tat bad.

[PaLmEr]

naked bikes will usually get ur feet wet. Faired bikes not that bad.
