Two things happened more or less at once. I realized that my large German machine was getting heavier after 18 years, and was more bike than I needed for the kind of riding I do anymore. Then the CBR250R came out. My local dealer - they're spread far apart out here - got one in, in black. I said I'd take one, in red. He found one, we're waiting for it, and he's waiting for my Gummi Kuh. It's red. The Honda ought to make a good stablemate the Velocette. It's black.
Ride safe.
