NX650 – There He Comes

After 2 months of searching, on the 19th of October 2011 I finally bought a base-bike. It was a 1991 Honda NX650 Dominator with a rebuilt motor from 1989 model (hopefully with a kickstarter). Visually it was terrible - dried, strong mixture of dirt, oil and grease was everywhere, rust was showing all-over, most plastic fairings were broken, the seat was ripped and every part was scratched  (the bike definitely had a tough off-road life) - but technically everything was fine. You can’t imagine how much fun I had riding it off-road for the first month compared to my Africa Twin :]


So this is how the bike looked like on the day of purchase:
