Honda Reflex 250 100 miles review + ride

[@jimrees1778]

I have owned various motorcycles for 50 years now. I recently bought an 03 Reflex with 5,000 miles, got it for $1,200.00. It looks and runs like new. This bike is becoming my favorite bike so far, it is so smooth and comfortable to ride. It has more power than I had expected for a 250cc bike. Solid build, like any Honda, and super quiet. These are great bikes for sure.

[@MotoRoUsa]

Jim Rees they are super quiet and smooth. Enjoy your ride! Will last a long time

[@Nugliscious]

I assume you're pleased. I just got a 2004 Reflex with almost 2,100 miles and couldn't help but smile when I got on and rode it.

[@MotoRoUsa]

Mike yes it is a really nice scooter! Enjoy yours!

[@ezymedianetwork193]

It looks to be a fast bike.

[@MotoRoUsa]

Not as fast but it’s smooth and quiet. Can cruise at 70mph all day long though

fbweaver63 it’s givi but I don’t remember what model.

[@fbweaver63]

thank you.i ended up drilling holes in the rear wing/passenger grab thing and mounting a waterproof 26" toolbox.

[@MotoRoUsa]

fbweaver63 nice. If it works it works! Don’t have to pay $250 for a new box lol

[@willierosado161]

Great bike now do change front light

[@yahuraelyt7709]

When coming to a stop do you use both brakes to stop?

[@MotoRoUsa]

Depends on the speed. Front grabs better but I usually use both brakes to stop

[@vencentbauer]

what did u pay 4 it??? loking at the same bike

[@MotoRoUsa]

Paid $800 few years ago

[@jaimealvarez7981]

to start the engine you have to press the brake left or right??.

[@MotoRoUsa]

jaime alvarez left lever

[@jimrees1778]

Just curious, what air pressure do you keep in your tires ?

[@MotoRoUsa]

Jim Rees check your tires. Should tell you what psi is optimal for yours.

[@psalm2forliberty577]

Most Maxi Scooter use 30-40 psi rear & 25-30 front. Lower gives more road feel maybe longer tire life, higher gives more load capacity & high speed handling, but will wear tires faster. Consider "Darksiding" your rear tire on most Maxi Scooters for longer rear tire life / better load capacity IF you ride say more than 10,000 miles annually.

[@seer6961]

There is a REALLY cheap one near me but I'm afraid its lack of ABS will get me killed. I never had a motorcycle/scooter before so I don't know just how important it is.

[@MotoRoUsa]

ss tt not that important unless you really want it as a option to have. Never had a abs bike and probably never will in near future. You need to get use controlling the brakes without locking them. It’s not that hard. Take the MSF class, they’ll teach you

[@seer6961]

​@@MotoRoUsa Okay thank you. I don't want to lose the opportunity because I think it will sell fast at this price, well under $1000.

[@MotoRoUsa]

ss tt buy it. Too cheap to pass on

Hey what's the name of the phone holder you have to hold your phone when I brought this back in 2016 you didn't have that I have to register it this week so hopefully Friday but what's the name of the phone holder I want to buy that

[@MotoRoUsa]

MURKIN RANZYZ I actually used my belt clip holder from my phone and I screwed it into the ram mount

[@murkinranzyz9961]

@@MotoRoUsa so clever thank you

[@vkhiev]

Is it normal that my reflex runs a high rpm, when I go 50mph rpm is around 5000

[@MotoRoUsa]

vkhiev that’s pretty normal. They’re made to cruise at 70mph all day long without issues. I believe that’s about 7k rpm if I remember well. Just sold the scooter I can’t confirm 100% but 5k isn’t high

[@bravogolf5905]

@@MotoRoUsa Had to give you a thumbs down when I read you sold this scooter!

[@bravogolf5905]

Don't recall what the RPM should be but if you feel like they are higher than they should be it "may" be in indication of the drive belt wearing....but not necessarily. Just something you may want to look into

[@MotoRoUsa]

It’s pretty normal. It has the dual weights system and feels like it’s changing gears after a certain speed and you’ll see a rpm drop and bounce back up

Yup......you’ve given up fishing.....😆
