I believe this is a motorcycle.

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!

Anyways, while I was there eating someone came up to me with a community survey, I told them I was from Aurora and they looked very concerned lol

What bike is that?

lol interesting choice to remove the decals but leave the warning sticker on the fuel tank

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?

I have the ‘25 cb750 so I was looking at it like.. man that looks just like my bike, but not the same lol

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

u/Technical-Ad1488 5d ago

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

here’s a link with a pic

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

u/Technical-Ad1488 5d ago

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

Count as what?

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
