Just want to clarify, there is no clear coat over the side stickers? I think I'm going to remove the side stickers as well, more clean-looking.

No clearcoat over the fairing stickers. Clearcoat, I think, over the tank "wing" stickers.

^^ Thanx!

Do you think it will decrease the value of the bike if I just remove the CBR250R fairing stickers?

Also, does Goo Gone mar the finish? I used it on the tank to remove those idiot stickers and it doesn't seem to have bothered the finish.

I would say make sure the area is very clean, and be prepared to immediately wash the goo gone off after buffing the residue out. I had to use goo gone in stages to remove the residue left by goo gone itself. Quick application of goo gone then immediate washing with soapy water worked.

Hopefully your experience is less intensive.

The stickers come off easy with just tiny bit of patience and after removed just wipe residue with WD-40. I removed all except the Honda Wings on tank sides. IMO bike looks much nicer now.

The stickers are very subtle. Everyone who looks at it never even notices the 250 stickers and are shocked when I tell them its a 250.
I have no problem announcing its a 250. If I wanted a bigger motor I wouldve bought a bigger bike.
Besides the little rear tire pretty much announces to anyone who knows bikes that its a small displacement bike.
Taking off the stickers and screwing up the finish will end up hurting your resale value if you decide to sell it.

Agree... thought about it if only due to the notion of a "decal" screwing up the look of engineering art...
As for it being a 250, instead of a liter bike, I've no problem with that... Those that need ask the displacement are somewhat suspect... I usually just answer: "it's a Honda CBR." However, if they followup with '600?' '1000?' my new answer will be: "it's the new 2000cc 6-cylinder... Honda did a great job keeping it tight..."
