I bought my CB to commute. I ride every day - rain or shine. Although I ride the TW200 on rainy days. A) I don't care if it gets dirty (it's a dual sport) & B) it's slower, therefore safer in rainy conditions (at least in theory). Commuting via motorcycle compared to a cage saves me 20 minutes on my ride home in the evening. I work my way as close as possible to the red light. Cagers in the back will wait through two lights & maybe more if there's construction or an accident. Riding to work is a push 'cause at O-dark-thirty in the morning, there is no traffic. When I worked downtown, motorcycle parking was free. In addition to saving time, it's less stressful and the ride in in the morning is fun due to no traffic.
