How well do these things stand up to being left completely uncovered in the wind and rain for 9 hours a day?

On previous bikes I found water got into the clutch cable (fun and games when it froze) and into all the switches on the handle bars causing them to fail. I also had the pads seizing in the front brakes although that was probably not down to it being left out all day. Just about everything else rotted away, especially the seat base.
