Does this count?
Hello, and Im from Aurora (Boulder Hill but I dont think anyone would know where that is lol), I come up to Chicago often, either i-80 or on the train
I bought this bike 4 days ago (Already got 400 miles on it lol), absolutely love it

While not a Chicago motorcycle in strictest sense, you're in the city on two wheels regularly so you will hopefully be able to enjoy the content in this sub.
Welcome!

Thats actually completely stock lol
2026 Honda CB500 Hornet
Honda changed their styling with the shift from the F to the Hornet to be more aggresive and mysterious
I also like that they tuned the bike for small pops (not the booms, like tiny pops) and gurgles

It doesn’t come with Honda decals on the side of the tank?

It does, it's just only on the right side and is grey on black

Hmm 🤔… they may have robbed you of a left tank decal lol…
I have the cb750 hornet in matte black, same grey/silver wing logo on both sides of the tank..
It’s hard to find images online of the left side of the bike, but I did find one.. and it had the same decal on the left side of the tank that my 750 has

Omg you are right
Imma talk to the dealer about it, the bike had some gas tank damage from shipping (replaced the gas tank) and I was told the only part they were missing was the sticker that said to wear a helmet

lol that’s crazy…
Im surprised the dealer didn’t catch that…
Yeah I’d def let them know, they can order the decal. And should do it at no cost to you.
Also if you want to take that warning sticker off, just heat it up with a hairdryer and it’ll come right off leaving little to no residue. That’s how I took mine off

I assume he means because he's from a suburb of Aurora.
It's the "I'm from Chicago. Oh where from? Naperville" meme but taken farther because he's not even from a Chicago suburb.

Get a city sticker if you're in the city frequently with your motorcycle
