You would be amazed just how deep the water has to be before it will actually stop you riding through it, provided it isn't actually flowing with any current that is. A group of us tried crossing a ford in Wales last year and I made it across with the water up to the headlight on my Hornet, the trick as someone has already said is not to stop...... (air intake under the seat)
We came back the following morning on the way out of the hotel and although it looked about the same depth it was flowing proper quick this time and we daren't go near it!
