Having watched it from the paddock, I can tell you rain at Suzuka 8 Hours is no joke. When Miller says riding someone else's bike is 'kind of fun,' that tells me he understands the lightness of not being tied to your own setup. If you've got the throttle feel in your fingertips, you can adapt to any machine.

Didn't know Suzuka 8 Hours bikes were production-based.

Eight straight hours in the rain is legitimately dangerous.

I'd like to hear what the Honda and Kawasaki riders think too.

Rain at the 8 Hours is basically a tradition at this point.

Second place two years running basically makes him a title favorite.

Not being tied to setup — does that actually help lap times?
