2001 Honda Reflex 250 review from United States of America
"Extremely competent, capable and great mpg"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Annoying, yes, but not a reliability issue.
Heated automatic choke makes for a rough idle when cold. Repairable.
Dashboard could be more sturdy. It rattles giving a cheap first impression. Not fixable.
General comments?
Bought it cheap on a why not whim, and sold my Concours months later due to neglect.
As stated many times, this scooter has pleasantly surprised me in every way.
Light weight. 65-70 mpg. Handles good within its limits. Ergonomically perfect, zero getting used to, friendly from the first ride. More comfortable than it has a right to be. Acceleration is adequate and can easily be made better.

Again, wind protection is made better by the after market shields available.
