Paladin, good to hear from you. I printed the color "Street" picture and the article, too. I have another nice color photo from an ad someone posted. I enjoy Rider and Cycle World as well as Motorcycle Consumer News each month. Reading replaces riding in the winter, so Thanks.

As for the Reflex, it is similar in looks to the Yamaha TS200 that I saw last summer in a dealer and love its looks. Thanks again.

I used to have a TLR200 Reflex. Put 10,000+ miles on it before someone offered to trade me a Colt pistol and some cash for it. You only THINK the seat on a Savage is uncomfortable after a few miles. While in each case I trailered it to the general area, I rode it along the Jeep Eater trail in the Great Sand Dunes, up Pikes Peak, across Trail Ridge Road and up the Old Fall River Road, and up to Rollins Pass from Winter Park. Fun bike.

Thanks Paladin! While not a glowing endorsement,the article does highlight what many of us like about the scooter. To me this is the 55/57 Chevy or 78/86 Mustang of the motorcycle world. So many ways to make it your own...and do it with a lot less $$$$$ than so many others!
