2000 Reflex/Forza NSS 250

NSS 250 Reflex/Forza

This new 250cc model will be marketed in the USA starting February 2001 as the "Reflex", though it's called the "Forza" in Japan and elsewhere. This scooter is a water-cooled 4-stroke with double headlights, underseat storage and an optional ABS braking system. So far, it is one of the top sellers in Japan, is doing well in other Asian markets and promises to sell quite nicely in Europe and North America also. There is a detailed road test in the May 2000 issue (#170) of Scootering magazine. It appears this is the long-awaited replacement for the CN250 ("Helix" in USA), which will no longer be manufactured.
