Rode home from work at 4:30am - it was 55F/13C. Felt good! I need to see how my bar covers will fit on this bike.

It's going in Tuesday for it's 600 mile check-up. Then I can begin to explore the outer limits!

This CBR250R reminds me a lot of another Honda single I owned briefly:



except being vastly more practical. Granted the Dream 50 kicks ass for a 49cc engine, but that's just compared to other bikes it's own size. Full-time woodie riding it, that's for sure. Not a practical commuter though.

I can't wait for my overnight trip coming up. I'm getting much more comfortable on the bike, and I am having the dealer install my Yoshimura rear-sets while it is in there. They are a pretty simple (and affordable) set-up, really, just a couple of castings that moves the controls rearward and upward, with two choices of height. I'm starting out on the lower setting.



The reason I am having the dealer do it is because there is surgery required for a "return line" to the [remote] reservoir, which will require not spilling brake fluid and getting the rear brake properly bled.
The passenger pegs are not even close to a choice for resting ones feet, like on an airhead.

You want less leg room?

My feet want to be back there.

They did on the R65, too, but that was a much more expensive proposition.

I guess you are a sportier guy than I thought.
