2002 Honda Reflex 250 review from United States of America

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this bike in the three years I have had it. I just change the oil every 1000 miles and that's it.

Really the only thing I don't like about the Reflex is it has dual headlights, but only uses one of them on low beam. To me that makes it look like one headlight is burned out, and I am just too dumb to change it. I did a little electrical work on my Reflex, and fixed this so that both bulbs burn on low beams, but at reduced power.

This is a great commuter bike that works well as a cruiser. It will keep right up with the big bikes on the twisty roads.

The 250cc water cooled engine is smooth with no discernible vibration. It starts up quickly even after sitting for several weeks. The 250cc twin is very reliable. It has good acceleration 0-60. Top speed is around 80+ MPH with one rider. That's plenty fast for freeway travel. Mine consistently gets 65+ MPG, even in the mountains.

There is plenty of storage room under the seat for helmets, jackets, etc. Add a luggage trunk on the back and you can haul all of your stuff around.

The seat is huge. I can ride for hours without getting the "tired butt" syndrome.

The Reflex is very sporty looking. Other riders are always asking me about mine. It handles great and is ultra reliable.

I would recommend this bike for anyone looking for comfort, style and economy. The Reflex is a great bike for older riders and women due to its lower seating.
