I have driven [ you can say an Italian designed Vespa / Piaggio 150 cc two stroke , under the seat - almost horizontally positioned engine, 4 gears ] Bajaj Chetak scooter in India in 9'' to 1' high water on a good surfaced city road for about 200 meters long distance, 1 or 2 times every year.
Believe me the exhaust/ silencer is at about 6'' from ground.It won't affect running of engine if accelerator is kept on higher side ,
In a heavy down pour and running traffic, it is so thrilling,
We need to be in low gear [ 2nd ] sound from the exhaust will die down [ like lazy drums ] keep the momentum always,
The most exciting feeling is the force of frequent waves from different sides, coming from heavier vehicles' tyres.
It is pretty sure shoes will get drenched.
Water crosses from the foot rest
To keep the handle straight needs strong grip.
I have a 2000 year model Bajaj Chetak and 1 Royal Enfield - Bullet 350 cc 2005 model[ UK design - I am smiling ] that my son drives and is my favourite too.
