Honda NX650 Dominator, produced 1988 - 2000. A legendary dual-purpose motorcycle with "low weight, relaxed torque, fine handling."
Basically a XR650L with a fairing, slightly different frame and some refinements, in its heyday the NX650 was the choice of many RTW (Round-the-World) motorcycle adventurers. According to Motorcycle News, "the SOHC, air-cooled single-cylinder motor is super-reliable and good for almost 100,000 miles." This is a tough bike.
Brief specs:
Engine: Air-cooled SOHC RFVC 4-valve 4-stroke single cylinder 644cc.
Compression ratio: 8.3:1.
Output: 32 kw (44 bhp) @ 6000rpm and 53Nm torque @ 5000rpm.
Dry weight: +/- 160kg.
Wheels: Front 90/90/21 and rear 120/90/17 (or 130/90/17).
Suspension: Front features 41mm leading-axle fork with 220mm wheel travel while rear is a Pro-Link with 195mm travel.
Start: Happy button
Fuel: 13l (88-92 model) or 16l
Top speed: 160km/h
