Per the title, I have my eye on a 2013 Honda CBR250R Repsol Edition with 7100 miles on the clock. This would be my first used bike purchase. It was purchased from a well-regarded local dealership and apparently has been serviced there. I was talking to the owner's wife and she claims it has ABS and a completely clean title, and he bought it but hasn't ridden it much so he is selling. I normally want to know absolutely everything about something before I buy it, so I am making this post in a few subs looking for comments.
 
I know folks say "don't buy a 250, it's too small and you'll outgrow it." I already own another 250 I bought new, but I am looking for a second small displacement bike for specific reasons. (I will buy a larger sportbike next year, again, for reasons)
 
What I want to know is... how good a deal is this? What kinds of things should I be looking at specifically when I go see it this weekend? Obviously if she shows up and has the title in his name but he isn't around, that would be a problem. Another question -- despite it being just a little 250, would the bright orange Repsol paint job make it a cop magnet? I want to keep as low profile as possible, much as I love the way it looks.
 
I plan to show up with $2100 or $2200 cash in hand and if it looks good I will offer that immediately. If he turns me down I will probably go to an ATM and get the other $300.

Got a good deal for this I couldn’t pass up now I just need to buy gear and get my license🫶🏻

I found this baby rotting away in Iwakuni, Japan. It’s such a sad sight to see and I wish I was able to get into contact with the owner and save her.

I an rebuilding a 2012 cbr1000rr and i bought a new oem oil pump. It has yellow film of oil on there, do I need to clean that?

Edit: thank you so much to everyone for your replies. I think im going to be patient and wait for the right bike for me.

I want to buy this motorcyle but I noticed it has some damage on the right side. Is the damage a cause for concern or purely superficial from a experienced riders pov?

Just bought a 2011 600rr. It has almost no fairings on it, but came with a full kit + old oem ones. One of the headlight brackets broke. Is the housing a part I can buy or do I just need to buy a whole new headlight? Is this fixable at all?

So my mechanic said the piston was damage and intake and valves are hitting the piston but I asked them they don’t know why. So I would like to ask your personal experience and thoughts on this.

Because I usually ride it normally no crashes. My bike is cbr150r 13k km. I change oil every 3k km. I ride it everyday to work.

I would like to know what causes this to avoid it.

yes I have the OEM graffiti fairings

I just bought this 2005 cbr600rr, long story short is bike was in perfect shape very well maintained then they crashed it and I bought it only needs fairings and some other small things, any how went to clean up the bike with just some regular car wash soap to take off what you see in pictures but it did absolutely nothing lol any ideas on how to wash it off ? Any help is much appreciated

First Cbr!
I just got an 05 600rr with 27k miles, and two sets of plastics extra besides own gor 3000!!
Feels like a steal, just had valves done, just had major services, after riding Harleys and an Africa twin, this felt right

My baby! CBR900rr from '97. Got her in april for $1300, she has a lot of cosmetic damage and i will try to find new fairings when season ends. But it is a great rider, absolutley love this bike!
