It's amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets credit.

Nice writeup. In fact, if I were in the market, that writeup would give me the confidence to check that bike out.

I would second everything he said! The wife and I share a 2011 CBR (Same arrest me red color) which one of us will take, when we just need to embrace our wild side. The bike is a blast to ride, dirt cheap to maintain, silly good on gas (Takes regular grade to boot) and just looks great.
The best part (In my opinion) is you find yourself working on your skills almost automatically as you try to wring out everything the 250 can give you. I know when I come back from any ride on the bike I am grinning like a little kid and feel 20yrs. younger. And as a bonus, even with a bad back, right knee and ankle, I can ride the bike for about an hour before the stiffness sets in too badly. The ergos. are really neutral for a sporty looking bike.
Sorry, off the bandbox for me!

Jinx I think you are the first person I have met that owns one. It really is an attractive bike and very comfortable. I've only sat on them in dealerships and shows.
