Popping around locally, no high speeds? Sounds like a slam dunk.

My brother walked into a dealership about 2 years ago. They had a KLX250 on sale for about the same price as this CBR. He didn't need a bike, but he bought it. He now uses it as his primary street bike. He said he couldn't afford to pass up that much of a deal.

New bike at used bike price. We should all be this lucky!
I know. I could throw on some pirelli's, SS brake lines, new brake pads, and I would still be out ahead.

I'm on my way over to the dealership with my friend as I type this.

They are letting me test ride it and it was just uncrated today, it's ready to go.
