I need members opinions 1 more time please. I have had it with my Eagle 150 and I am actively looking for another scoot. In your opinion....what would you think the best choice would be?
I am looking at getting a used Honda Reflex (250cc) they have been selling from $1600-$3500.
I also am looking at:
iScooter RoadRunner 250cc Highway Queen: evosales.com/pd_best_scooter_250cc.cfm
Jonway with Saddlebags 250cc: [/b] evosales.com/pd-250cc-scooter-moped-road-p.cfmIf this was your decision what would you do and pretend you are NOT very mechanical in nature?Owners of Roketa Scooters.....Would you buy another Roketa or look at something else?
****Update: OK all votes are for the Honda. That re-enforces what I was thinking. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, fellow Dawgs.Thanks to all for their opinion. I did buy a 2004 Honda Reflex for $2800. And I love it.

Get a Honda.
Also multi colored type is possible but it shouldn't necessarily be done. Makes it hard to read rather than bringing the unnecessary emphasis on anything you wrote.
Hope you find what you want. Not sure you can really compare a Rocketa to a Honda though.
Did I remember to say you should buy a Honda.

Really, if you are willing to spend $3,000.00 buy a low mile used Reflex.

I bought a used Honda Reflex and I'm having trouble wiping the smile off my face. What a great bike. It's a silver 2005, and only had 1.400 miles on it.

I bought a used '07 Reflex to replace the Jonway that went south and there is very little comparison. I've put most of a 1000 miles already and am very pleased. The Jonway was pretty much WOT at 70. the Honda runs easily at 70 (haven't tried for top speed yet). Less harsh ride on less that good roads. I should have not wasted my $ on the Jonway in the beginning. And I have the same smile that bobshaw has.
