    Great bike for a first timer and for commuting. I've wanted one since they came out. The Ninja (in the US) isn't EFI and this bike is. I've come to hate carbs and chokes. Even though I ride a 1000, I still want that 250 as a daily runner just for the fuel savings alone! I'm surprised it was that cheap in Hawaii. Here? They are asking full MSRP and by the time you get to the OTD price, it's over $5k!!!

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Nice bike, congrats. As others have said, take the MSF course. Time & money well spent.
    Enjoy.

    Honda's been making small sportbikes for quite a while, they just didn't import them. They make a nice little CBR150 in Thailand for example.

    The CRB250 gets great reviews and should keep you happy for a while. I've actually thought about picking up one to play with around town.
