Sad News

Post by Wheelman-111 »

Greetings:

I regret to announce the sale of Golden Boy, my 2002 NSS-250 Reflex, with 4900 miles. Sold to a San Antonio-area veteran, who's stepping down from a career of riding vintage Hondas and other UJMs. I think Golden Boy has found a good home.

The Reflex was a charming scooter. Honda-san really Nailed the styling, as far as I was concerned. Nice from every angle, polished and thoughtfully sculpted. Unfortunately that size and length led to a whopping 385 pounds of avoirdupois, which the low-key liquid-cooled 249cc four-stroke found challenging to motivate. It didn't accelerate so much as it Gathered Speed, although it topped 80 indicated.

Now I seek a late-model PCX to try. Don't mind driving a bit to score one. Budget is in the low 2000s. Preferably metallic red. If anyone reads about one within a 200-mile radius of Deepinnaharta, please let me know.

Don't worry. Ms. Wheel-person will never let me sell Flash9.

You're quite correct, Ultra. Hmm, what to say One Man, One Half-scoots?

Thanks Mike. Sadly TN is a bit outside acceptable Wheel - perimeter. But please keep 'em coming.

Hi wheelman. Sorry to hear you sold your scooter. I did the same. I just didn't ride it enough. It had plenty of power For my needs, but I rode the spree more.
I think the PCX 150 top speed is 65mph?
Life's a trip enjoy the ride.
94 elite SR, 86 spreedio, polini corsa, keli variator, 8.4, jet. speed 65 mph

It'll come down to a good deal popping up close enough to Deepinnaharta for a quick trip in the Family Truckster uwith trailer in tow. I don't mind messages and posts if y'all spot one.
