One point of dissension in your list....the FatCat came after the Yamaha BW200...Those were ahead of the time in the mid to late 80s. Back when Honda was really a thinker when it came to bikes and they were always trying different ideas. The Reflex, Transalp, FatCat, NR, Odysseys, CB1 and Hawk GT are a few of the very cool short lived odd balls.
Honda was a different giant in the 80s and were really putting out great bikes then. CR, XR, CBR, VFR, ATC and Fourtrax were the staple of great bikes at the time.
Bejebas, even the yards are big in Texas !; put 75 mile on it in a week. . . . in our yard.
No, that's the thing, we only have an acre.Bejebas, even the yards are big in Texas !
$4000.., ouch! I can see that price for a vintage Bultaco Sherpa T or a Montessa, but not a Honda Reflex.One just showed up in the SF Craigslist, (Morgan hill,area ) $4000.
Check out the Portland CL , under $2k !$4000.., ouch! I can see that price for a vintage Bultaco Sherpa T or a Montessa, but not a Honda Reflex.

When I got back into riding in 2010, I picked up left over 2009 TU250x. I just bought to use as a commuter and running around town. It turned out to be so much better than that. I kept finding myself taking it longish rides on 2 lane county roads. It had a real sweet spot between 55-65. Then I got the idea that I wanted to do motorcycle touring, so I traded the little TU250x on a honda NT700V. If I could go back, I would have just kept the TU250X. The NT was great out on the highways, but it simply wasn't near as fun as the TU or DR650 running around town. It is hard to describe exactly what it was that I miss about it, but I just remember this pure, simple joy of riding a motorcycle with the TU. I took it everywhere I could and in weather I rarely ride in now. It is probably similar to memories of your first car, but I sure did like that little bike.They must have been a good seller around Boise. I’ve seen numerous ones on CL and Facebook classifieds last fall.
I just bought a 2015 Suzuki TU250X with 2400 miles. Excellent little bike with a low seat height, bulletproof engine. It is fuel injected, so no choke to mess with. I like that with my wife, as it’s a no brain easy ride.
I may be selling it this spring as I had some unforeseen medical bills.
Not enough profit margin.. . . . They quit making them, too bad.
