Never having ridden one I can’t comment on how a Rebel will do on a highway. However, I did purchase a motorcycle after riding a scooter and one thing to keep in mind is that a larger displacement scooter like your Reflex has many of the same capabilities as small motorcycle such as the Rebel. If you’re looking to get rid of the Reflex and simply want the look or manual transmission of a motorcycle, no problem. If you’re looking for a sizable leap in performance I think you’ll have to look towards something like an S-40 or a Vulcan 500. In my case I still ride my 150cc scooter around town but have something significantly larger for the open road, two very different tools for two very different purposes.
