Right, I'm no race driver but I went for a 2 hour spin in the 8 last night. It was pi55ing down all night. I have to say the 8 did not disappoint. I had bags more confident throwing it around the B roads which were wet through. I never once had any scary moments which I could attribute to bad handling and I was averaging close to 60mph on most bends.
The handling is simply superb.
I don't think this wet weather thing is really anything to worry about.
Trust me.
