Well, these guys say they're into bad weather.  :wink:

Seriously though, you could do much worse, with their low rev torque and tractability, and low maintenance belt drive, can be found cheap too...

This was my cold and rain go-to ride until I traded it in last year, last tires I had on it were PR3's.



While the plastics were nice, I don't mind riding without them in the same conditions on its replacement R1200R. In fact, the first long ride I took it on last year involved a couple of days of 5C and rain.
