Sold my Honda CBR 250R after 27,000 km: Here's how my experience was

CBR was my introduction to big bikes and I did my first ever 500+ km day on this bike.

Sold my CBR after 3 years 8 months and ~27000 kms

There is something about June and me parting ways with my bikes. In 2017, it was the Yamaha FZ16, my first bike and in 2023, it is my beloved CBR 250R. Honestly, until June first week, I had no plans or thoughts to sell. One night, when I was laying on my bed pondering about my life, the upgrade itch made a sudden and a very powerful appearance. I guess the decision was subconciously made then and the classifieds only appeared a week later.

Last Friday, the deal was finalized with another rider and the initial plan was to hand over the bike this weekend in Pune. Now, my bike is Pune registered but I have been working from home, in Odisha, for the last few months. Initially, the plan was to ride this weekend to Pune but some important personal work was scheduled several weeks ago so after thinking a bit, I started my ride the very next morning (last Saturday) itself. Rode from my home to Anakapalle (570 kms) on D1, Anakapalle-Hyderabad (595 kms) on D2 and Hyderabad-Pune (550 kms) on D3. Completed the payment and transfer formalities this Monday and handed over the bike with the ODO at ~35000 kms.

CBR was my introduction to big bikes and I did my first ever 500+ km day on this bike. Even though I bought it pre-owned, it'll have a special place in my heart! Sharing some pictures of my memories with this beauty.
