The Honda NSS250 Forza (International), or Reflex (US) is a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) Honda maxi-scooter.[5] It continued being produced as HONDA NSS300 Forza between 2013 and 2021 with ABS, receiving minor updates each year.[6]
The Forza was updated in 2021 with a new 350cc (now 330cc, up from 279cc) single cylinder 4-stroke engine, which is shared with the SH 350 model.[7]
Production and model history
[edit]The Honda NSS250, marketed as the Honda Reflex in North America, was manufactured by Honda between 2001 and 2008. It was introduced as a mid-sized maxi-scooter aimed at urban commuters and light touring riders, succeeding the earlier Honda Helix (CN250). The NSS250 featured a 249 cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine paired with a V-Matic automatic transmission. Early models were notable for offering an optional Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which was uncommon in scooters at the time.[8][9]
In 2004, Honda introduced the Reflex Sport (NSS250S) and Reflex Sport ABS (NSS250SA) variants, featuring cosmetic updates such as a shorter windscreen, black wheels, and a modified seat with passenger backrest, while retaining the same mechanical specifications.[7]
