Steam when riding in the rain

I remember the first time i saw the Rockets red glare(pipes) ,it actually upped the temperature of the garage!
 

This was not a joke (however I guess I gave away that I am not a mechanic genius...) Thank you for the explanation it makes sense, but that's the first bike I see doing this, but again that's my first 2.3 l engine and that gas tank is gigantic compared to other bikes.

Fair enough, but temperature was in the 40F in New Jersey and I have yet to find a rain gear which will keep me dry when riding over an hour in the rain. I ride all year long expect when there is ice or snow on the road, for around 12K miles a year. Aside from the harsh rear shocks (will upgrade to progressive soon) and parking maneuverability, this is most enjoyable bike I have had so far, after Ducati Multistrada or BMW GS.
 
Ride a bike in Rain dont expect to stay dry it took two days to dry out helmet, boots and gloves the rest I chucked in dryer, as you said No gear is going to keep you 100% dry
