Hi Empty Sea,
Congratulations on your 2 CBR250R's. I am impressed. I am also in Chicago, Logan Square, and I am looking at my stock black CBR250R in my living room as I write this. I have been riding 45 years and love my new bike, just right for my needs now. I have had 100's of bikes, and actually have 10 here in the house right now. I sold my Sportster to buy the CBR and have no regrets. It is a wonderful machine. As you must know there are no close by Honda dealers. I bought mine in Milwaukee. I have the shop manual and plan on doing all my own service as I always do. I am a retired mechanic. If you ever need any advice or assistance do not hesitate to ask.
I wonder how many are in Chicago proper?
