The Honda NX650 Dominator is a very comfortable bike to ride.
The downside is, in my experience the plastics tend to crack.
Overall excellent bikes, reliable and fun to ride.

Great on and Off Road, Recomended. Solid, upright, easy to handle single pot thumper with the bulletproof 650 engine. Not the fastest bike in the world but it will pull your house off its foundations if you ask it too. The engine is a toned down version of the XR650R I think its just a different carb, but still an animal.

I use mine for touring and town work. North west of England to Provence 4 times in the last two years without any problems. Added a gel pad to the seat when recovering, what a difference on 450 mile days in the saddle. Always over 50 mpg and negligible oil use. I have covered 9,000 miles of touring on the same chain and sprockets and fitted tourance tyres which seem to suit the bike. Baglux tank cover and bag and off I go.

Before my Honda NX650 Dominator, I had a Suzuki DR650 for a few years, because I couldn't find a Dominator at the right price. I found it a rather top-heavy bike, which felt a lot like riding an inverted pyramid when you had just filled it up with fuel - always felt like the front wheel was going to tuck under as I turned out of the filling station. The way the large tank fairing totally obscured your view of the front wheel just made this feeling worse. The dominator seems to have a much lowe ...

I have only owned this bike for 3 months and love it. I was fortunate enough to get it in immaculate condition with only 5,700 miles on the clock guaranteed. I use it daily to travel from Fife to the Lothians, which it does with ease. It is just as much at home in traffic as it is on the open roads. My other bike is a GS500 which cannot hold a candle to the Big Dom.

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 requi ...

I love my NX650 Dominator because it does what I bought it to do,
run around on little fuel and go off road.
Since I do not ride on the street any more, I'm lowering the gears to get more power in the low end (it's a bit -
doggy in low rpms) and I've no need to go any where's near the claimed 95 mph top end, 65 mph will be plenty in the dirt. The aggressive trail tread also needs to be shed for a "knobby" with bite. All in all the $1700 I paid
was not a bad deal.

The Honda NX650 Dominator a good all rounder for any job. Low seat for this type of bike, I am only 5' 2" (female) and managed OK with the standard wheels although I did supermoto it so I could get that extra inch on the floor.
Handling great and lovely and 'thumpy'!!
Very comfy pillion position.
