2004 Honda Reflex

Pros: Fast enough for main roads, good gas mileage, lots of underseat storage
Cons: Brittle expensive ABS bodywork. Buffeted by wind. Slow initial acceleration.

This is a review of the Honda Reflex Scooter. I have put about 700 miles on it, mostly doing errands, but have gone on some day trips with it also. The 250 cc engine is more than adequate for riding at a 60-65 mph cruising speed, although the initial ...

Pros: Reliable, comfortable, great mpg, good storage - It's a Honda!
Cons: Not that fun when it's really windy.

I own a 2004 Reflex and I love it. Most of my riding is in an urban setting although I have been on the highway (not the interstate) quite a few times. I consistently get 60 mpg which is a little lower than I originally hoped but is still great. (A lot ...

Pros: RELIABLE! Economical, EASY to ride. LOW seat height. Quick and Agile.
Cons: NONE except hard to find one to buy!

Having ridden for about 50 years and starting on a Cushman scooter in the 1950's, when I started riding modern scooters again I began with the Burgman 650 by Suzuki. Too big, too heave. Lost that "scooter feel" I loved so much. Bought an Aprilia ...

Pros: Honda reliability, easy to get parts, fast, lots of storage, GREAT mpg
Cons: plastics easily scratched.

I have owned a total of 7 motorcycles. 2 off-road and 4 street bikes. The Reflex was #7. This bike is by far the most FUN, the most RELIABLE, the most PRACTICAL bike I have ever had. I was able to reach speed of 83 MPH while getting an average of 60 mpg. Safe for freeway travel, easy to ride - highly recommended.

Pros: Light, agile, great performance will out run most cars.
Cons: Exessive brake noise, winshield is a litlle to short.

I have owned my reflex now two days and love it. My wife and I have never owned a motorcycle and we wanted to start with something small. It hauls both of us just fine accels to 70 in about 10 seconds . Havent got it out on the interstate yet but others say they do well out there. The only problem we have is it sound like the brakes make a rubbing noise between 5-20 mph. I have read comments at powersorts.com and others say that sound in normal. Really love it so far we have only put 25 miles on it though. Will uptadate when we get out on it this summer.
