I'll go one better than that; Honda really NAILED that design. I can think of no scooter at any price that looks better to me than thet-thar Reflex. Every detail, from every angle, it's about as attractive a design as has ever been done.

very nice reflex Mr love. What you have there is the sport model with ABS. Has the upgraded stator 2004-2007 so that you can add a phone charger under the seat. Sport model has chrome handlebars , chrome side stand, backrest for passenger, shorter windshield. One very reliable machine.
some owners replace the rear tire with a all-season car tire. They are not as safe as the Bridgestone but in a hot environment the tire will outlast stock.
if you're not going to go crazy on it the tire size they use 145 70 r12
Google dark side tires.
I would think they use the tires like in Florida or Texas hot places ,where you only get three to four thousand miles on your tire. also the tire is one inch taller. may help with gas mileage, top speed, low rev.
if you live in cold climate stick with the stock tire. they have a better grip.
very cool styling enjoy your scooter

hi Mr love. It is only done on the rear tire. The front tire will have to remain stock.
this to mod it's mostly done on big bikes that do a lot of cross country riding. full dress Harleys, honda Gold Wings.we're changing tires is a pain and expensive.
if you're going to make tight turns and leaning hard stick with the stock Bridgestone. They have a better grip on the road.

Car tires on 2-wheelers aren't such a good idea. Harley riders try it sometimes. Makes anything but straight-line riding very dodgy, as car tires don't roll onto their sides like scooters to. You lose most of the grip at any angle but straight up. Think about lane change wobbles. Sure the added mileage is nice, but not if you're dead.

hi Mr love. wheelman is right. stick with the stock tires.
the car tire is not safe.

I really like the reflex I have one that i've "slightly modified"

.

lots of custom stuff. bars, mirrors, brake levers, big brake kit, lowering springs in the front, hard-tail in the back custom intake/exhaust, re-jet, short carb spring, wide body kit. as far as engine i've just done the k-mod with a polini clutch, speedbell and tq& clutch springs. I ride it most of the year so I wanted to keep the motor stock.
