Good Points
Nice looks, very comfortable, easy to get parts
did I mention the cool body and graphics.
Bad Points
Too heavy for moto, too wimpy for street (read-this is not a "dirt bike" ) if there is no trail don't go there on this machine as you'll skin your knee, your elbow an your bike.
General Comments
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.
