I once drove through a flood like that in a Peugeot 106 that was only 3 months old nearly made it out the otherside when the back wash killed my engine. instead of thinking about it and using window to climb out of I opened the door!! flooded insode to half way up the seats!!! the Ex Mrs wasn't happy as she was in the back with her mum!!!!

oh well you learn by mistakes!!!

so how comes the engine didn't cut out when it sucked in all the water???

One of the later bikes that came through with had a bit of hose taped to the end of the exhaust and lifted over the back seat.

he had one from the airbox up into the fairing too like a snorkel.

My cousin lives in Thailand and he moved both his car and his wifes to the nearest flyover when they knew the floods were coming.  Seems that is what most people have done if they can manage without a car and the others have been preparing vehicles for wading through deep water.  Fairly simple with a bike.  Make sure the airbox is airtight, attach a snorkel to it and it should be OK.  If the plug caps are the rubber type that seal onto the plugs they should still work (they do on a jetski after all) and it doesn't actually matter if the exhaust is under water.
