scot oil do a protector you spray on your bike.... it puts a film over it and you bike looks really scummy and scuzzy but clean it off with a normal soapy bike cleaner and hose down and bike is sparkling.... I used it when I went to Isle of Man when it was pissing down and it was great  :icon_thumleft:

Its not the rain and cold that pisses me off, its the crap the local council chuck on the roads - stuff attacks the big like sandpaper. Even a previous Honda wasn't immune.

I've got my old R1 for commuting in this weather, which is very satisfying funnily enough, it makes you ride more smoothly which pays dividends in the summer.  It's quite mild at the moment, so apart from a bit of rain it's business as usual.  I've not bothered with ACF50 yet, I think they've gritted the roads once in the last month and that got washed away quite quickly.
