RE: Should I sell bike or store it?
Thank you very much Flying I appreciate it
Okay I'll try to find that information from Honda... and I already have a cover and some security devices to keep it safe!
Has anyone ever stored a bike?

Drain your fluids, oil, coolant. Fill your Gas tank to FULL, that'll keep the inside of your tank from rusting. Either take your battery out but it's best to keep it on a battery tender. That's all I remember...

RE: Should I sell bike or store it?
Good info thank you
I am leaning more toward just riding in on weekends like you said Cbr.
But I'll keep the info in mind if I store it Flying
Overall I could save money I think by just riding it on weekends... the academy is off on weekends anyway so what a perfect excuse to ride!
No need to buy bike stands if i store it...no need to drain fluids or add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank.
No need to worry about battery.

Keep it dog, it will serve as stress relief as a minimal.
To store it, if you are gonna ride on the weekends not much is needed, just make sure you take it on long rides to get everything nice and warm. And I would probably lube the chain after every other ride or so, keep an eye on it you know. Maintain tire pressure also, try to keep them of of the ground if at all possible. If you are going to do extended storage, it would be quite a bit different, a battery tender would be a must and I would remove the battery from the bike all together.
+1 on Flying's suggestions, 'cause if I remember correctly the manual mentions keepin' the plugs from getting rusty, etc. I don't remember the details, my manual is in the garage.
Congrats and keep us safe.
