i have been lazy about posting my introduction, but i have been following this thread for quite sometime now. i bought my Black 2011 cbr250 in may, but didn't end up getting it until June. i received it by luck in june by a dealer trade. A yamaha Rhino for my baby blade. i have put 796 miles on it, and it has been put in storage because i didn't want to bring it to school this year. This is a great machine, and would love to know if there is anybody close to Iowa that has one. I haven't seen anyone else with one, and the dealer said i was about the third in the region at that time. Helloooo everyone
