Your biggest hurdle will be getting a 2008 250R - riding it home a couple of blocks shouldn't be an issue if you are comfortable after your msf course.

Wow, 2 days? MSF here is 6 days, 5 hours each.
10 hours of theory, 10 hours of lot and 10 hours of street/highway.

Yeah, I kind of wished it was bit longer but I just can't take that much time off from work. :(

I wasn't aware the MSF provided curriculum for the Canada Safety Council.

They don't. Some people just call it 'MSF course', it's actually called MSA here. But there are parts of Canada where the course is only 2 days. From what I gather, the US/Canada courses are pretty similar.

Most riding courses are pretty similar, but referring to all rider training as products of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, a US-based entity, would be incorrect.

From my understanding the CSC provided class is more rigorous than the MSF-based offerings most states use.

Yes it is incorrect, I was not denying that.

Varies province to province here as well, in my former province the course is 2 days and very cramped. In British Columbia it's longer then that, still slightly varies from school to school I believe.

Around here, most every dealership delivers at no charge, within a limited area. See if yours does the same.
