Engine/Drivetrain
Powerful 249cc liquid-cooled four-stroke engine produces impressive power for quick takeoffs and passing.
Aluminum cylinder head features a 10.5:1 compression ratio. Its design is optimized for maximum intake velocity, providing immediate response at low- to mid-range speeds, and excellent cruising and passing power at highway speeds.
30mm CV carburetor offers superb throttle response and excellent fuel mileage.
Maintenance-free fully transistorized ignition assures immediate and reliable power.
Auto-enriching system eliminates the need for a manual choke.
Air injection system ensures efficient combustion of exhaust gases and reduces exhaust emissions.
Fan-cooled radiator assures consistent engine operating temperatures and long engine life. The radiator is located in the base of the frame, maximizing storage bin capacity.
Push-button electric starter provides quick, effortless starting.
Lightweight and quiet exhaust system.
Honda V-Matic™ belt drive system provides sophisticated three-stage operation, matching the engine's strong low- and mid-range power to a wide range of operating conditions. Stage One delivers efficient, quiet power for around-town cruising; Stage Two provides increased power for moderate acceleration; and Stage Three provides maximum power for full acceleration and top speed.
Chassis/Suspension
Durable steel frame is lightweight yet strong, providing an optimum combination of rigidity and flexibility for superb road handling.
Lightweight, single-side aluminum swingarm is both attractive and functional, simplifying rear wheel removal.
Stout, 33mm hydraulic front fork with 3.9 inches of suspension travel provides a plush, well-controlled ride.
Dual rear shocks have 4.7 inches of travel and seven-position spring preload adjustability for a smooth, comfortable ride. Rearward mounting of the rear shocks allows a large-capacity underseat storage compartment.
Hydraulic 240mm front disc brake and lightweight, 220mm rear disc brake offer excellent stopping power.
The Reflex's Combined Brake System features a three-piston front caliper and a single-piston rear caliper. Rider application of the front brake lever activates the two outer pistons of the front caliper. Application of the rear brake lever, mounted on the left handlebar, activates the single piston of the rear caliper and the center piston of the front caliper. When only the rear brake lever is used, an inline delay valve smooths application of the front caliper piston.
Optionally equipped Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS with Combined Brake System) model features an electric-motor-driven modulator which provides rapid and precise braking-pressure adjustments, resulting in smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated electronic control unit (ECU) into a simple one-piece design, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function, and automatic protection against system failure.
Stylish five-spoke cast aluminum wheels are lightweight and strong.
Large, 13-inch 110/90 and 12-inch 130/70 tires provide excellent traction.
Additional Features
