This thing is HUGE. It is WAYYY too big. It's got a fair bit of power, and decent enough storage, but besides being probably the ugliest two wheeled vehicle I have ever seen, it's just too big. It's built more as a commuter than a touring bike, and it shines there, it gets reasonable mileage in the 60-70mpg range even around town. It'd be fine for touring too because you dont need to go 80mph. On most highways 75 is speeding anyways. And the 4 stroke Honda engine is bulletproof.
Really though if you want a bike to get around town, get an old honda supercub. They're just as reliable, not as fast and a million times more efficient (well 3x). I much prefer a smaller bike, this this is just too much excess nonsense junk. like a mix between a goldwing and a vespa. YUCK

I have never heard anyone denograte a Reflex before you. Having owned a BMW, British bikes, Harley and many others I find my Reflex the most practical of them all for around and short trips. Are you riding Mopeds or what? It is only 360lbs. I have only put gas in it and changed the oil. It doesn't get easier than that. One hundred percent reliable! Just what do you ride???

I am dumbstruck that you think the Reflex is wayyy too big. I've ridden everything from Honda 90cc bikes to Pacific Coasts to Harleys over the last 60 years and this little scoot is just about perfect for everything from local commuting as a grocery getter to scraping off the sides at Tail 'o the Dragon. ABS combined braking, 85 mph top end, cruise two-up at 70 mph, 70 mpg, quick off the line in traffic and with Honda reliability. Well over 20,000 trouble free miles on mine and I'll keep it until the wheels fall off. You must be riding a moped to think that this much capability in 360 pounds is huge. My former Burgman 650 was twice the scooter, but half the fun as this.

How can you CHOOSE to buy a bike that's too big and then slam it? I don't understand. The review is for the bike, not your stupidity.
