Engineered by Honda for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2001 Honda Reflex NSS 250 utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout.
On the scales, the Reflex NSS 250 measures 179 kg (395 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 719 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,544 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.61 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 332 km (206 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 132 km/h (82 mph).
