Good Points
Good handling, good reliability
Bad Points
Needed to be better galvanised.
General Comments
The Honda NX650 Dominator is great for cruising the back roads of the U.K., with good views over the hedging and fields due to the seating position. All the nuts and bolts that come into road and air contact should have been better galvanised for better weather protection, as they have now become very rusty. There should have been a wheel mud guard fitted at factory, as all road muck is thrown into and against the rear damper and exhaust piping. This means that all components in this area requires a lot of cleaning to preserve the bike for future sale. Also a center stand should have been an optional extra when buying new.

I found this review very helpful because...It relates to my own experiance of the fact that the nuts and exteria metal parts should have been galvenised to reduce rust build up.Also a hugger for the rear wheel shoul also been fitted at factory.
