I just found out that my friends 2007 White Honda CBR600RR was stolen last week Tuesday. I have yet to get all of the details from him since I actually just found out from another friend, I called to confirm the story though.
Obviously if anyone runs across a bike that is similar to my friends bike (picture above) please let me know. The bike was stolen in the north Chicago-land suburbs (I'll get an exact location later). The bike had the rear fender removed and a custom led taillight bar was installed along with LED blinkers. The bike still had a factory exhaust, so the heatshields are exposed. I installed blue LED's on his gauge cluster, so the majority of the gauge cluster now illuminates blue, but there is a small section that still illuminates orange. He had also installed blue LED accent lights, which only activate via remote. There was an "X" mark on the pillion seat and the bike had white tape on the wheels. Aside from that, the bike was mostly stock.
I do wonder what the chances of recovering any stolen bike is? Are all bikes stolen to tear apart and sell or if they just joy ride on them and then dump them somewhere? This really blows since my friend really loved the bike.[/img]
What are the chances of recovering a stolen bike?!

Same bike too.. not surprising since teh CBR is the lightest sport bike of its class. Easily picked up. When I got my r6, my dad (being the brute he his) said someone could just wheel it out by popping it in neutral and wheeling it out by the front forks.
