The Chicago dealers seem to have no clue when (or even if) they will get their shipment of ABS bikes. I've been calling every few weeks to try to get an update. What's with the delay? Why the secrecy from Honda? or are the dealers just toying with their customers?

My CBR 250R ABS (Red & Silver) was delivered to my home today while I was at work! I can't wait to great her wth, "Honey, I'm home!"

It has been a crazy ordeal with over two months of calling every Chicagoland dealership every week or two to try and locate my bike. Des Plaines Honda finally found one in Iowa and had it shipped and I withdrew my deposit from another dealer who provided zero help or information during my entire search. Danielle was my sales person and she was super great to work with!

Now I just need my gear to arrive in the mail and learn how to ride her... slow and easy with the shiny side up.

Ride smart all.

@Mad-Trapper: When mine was arriving from IA Des Plaines did have a black CBR250 in stock and asked to make sure I wanted the ABS version. I mostly dealt with "The Zone Honda", "Otto Brothers", and "Des Plaines Honda", but called less often a few dealers in Indiana and the one in Du Page.

@Iryxian: I really have no clue where they got it. They were sending one of their bikes down there and the IA dealer just happened to have one. So they hauled it back with them
