Ok. I'm stumped. I got the back latch unlocked. But I'm assuming there's one a little closer to the middle of the seat. I can't see or feel anything underneath the body panel. Thanks.

So 1 thing wrong with the scoot that was fine when I first looked at. The latch won't release to lift the seat up. The key turns. But I'm guessing the catch won't release. Any way around this? It's a 2007 Honda Reflex. Thanks.

So I was finally able to pick up the 2007 250cc Honda Reflex 70,000 kms today. First off what beaut. Driving this thing so much different than my 150cc. It purrs like kitten. Very quiet. It's got a couple scratches and scrapes on it. But nothing major. I got it safetied already, and will plate it on Monday. The previous owner put a lot of money into it last spring (2015). Just to let it sit all summer. I do have a question, but I'll post that in another thread. My wife likes the color. Me not so much. But it's growing on me. My mechanic swears I can't go wrong on a Honda. So hopefully he's right. Thanks. Mike   |

Ok. So here's an update. I'm still waiting to get the scoot. I talked to the seller last week. The shop says it's not the starter. So know they're going through all the electrical. So I sit here waiting patiently. Thanks.

Ok. So I went and looked at the scoot this morning. First off what a beauty. The scoot wouldn't start. April the starter was just replaced. So the shop is fixing that and giving it the once over. The scoot is in really good shape. It's never been dropped or fallen that I can see. The case on the back was just added last year. I plan on getting it. Hoping to have it early next week. I can't wait to put some more miles on it. It'll be a nice step up from my 150cc. Thanks.

I'm going to look at it Friday. I know the shop where he's had all work done. Plus he has the receipts. So fingers crossed that it's all good. Thanks.

Looking at this one. Is it worth it. Here's the ad info. "Great condition 250cc Honda Reflex. Completely serviced with new back tire, new brakes, new starter motor and new drive belt. Comes complete with Kuryakin soft luggage and Shad hard case luggage. Battery only one year old. User manual included. Fantastic gas mileage. Located in Byron area of London Asking $ 1,000" Is that too high for an engine? 70,000kms is about 43,000miles. Thanks. Mike  |

No title walk away if a cop happens to stop you they will take the scoot and you will have to prove you did not steal it. Also no keys and it has 16inch wheels, parts are rare for those and that looks like it has some age to it which makes it worse. What is it a 50cc, 150cc, 250cc etc.. AND WHAT YEAR? Alleyoop The seller says it's a 250. I'm going to look at it this Monday. He's out of town until then. He said I can check the Vin. As well I have a few police friends that can look too. Thanks.

No title. No keys. Which is pretty sketchy. He says it's a Hyosung. Which I doubt it is. I'm hoping to go see it tomorrow night. Thabks.

Just wondering if anyone has a scooter like this one, or similar. The guy is asking $300, it has 2,000km on it. Thanks. Mike  |

Ya. Unfortunately the new one won't be register capable. I was told they bought it at an estate sale. I'd have a hoops to go through in order to register it. But if it runs. It might be an option. Thanks.

From what the seller tells me. The engines are the same. I was looking at doing an engine swap on it this year. I was going to put a big bore on this new engine. Thanks. Mike This is the scooter I have now. Thanks. Mike  If the engines are the same it can be a possibility,,you need to have them side by side disassemble them ( the rear ends) and measure everything,,,I think the axels need to be swapped minimum,,,and the rear wheel,,,there's quite a bit to consider,,,, |

I'm looking at picking up this scooter. It'll be a parts one. For $125 I can't pass it by. I did just noticed that that the rear brakes on it are disc. Where mine is a drum. Is it possible to switch mine from drum to disc? Obviously all the components will be there on the parts scooter. Thanks. Mike  |
