The Honda NX650 Dominator is a dual-sport motorcycle. It was manufactured by Honda from 1988 to 2003. Its engine is slightly larger than that of the XR600R, which debuted in 1985. The 97mm bore engine was enlarged to 100 mm and stroked from 80 to 82mm for 644cc. With 44 horsepower at 6, 000 rpm, the engine had 53 N⋅m of torque at 5, 000 rpm. A gear-driven counterbalancing system helps to smooth out vibrations created by the large single-cylinder engine. The compression ratio of 8. 3:1 for the four valves is aided by a single chain-driven overhead camshaft. The intake is via a 40 mm Keihin constant-velocity carburettor, reaching as low as 5. 2 L/ 100km (45 mpg) from 12. 8 litres (3. 4 gallons) in the tank. The bike features a dry-sump (frame carries oil supply) engine. The Dominator has a dual exhaust located alongside the rear fender and its powertrain is a wet clutch powering a five-speed gearbox.
The NX650 Dominator is a very popular bike in the custom market and this bike is a truly fantastic example of that.
