New NX650 2010 (proposal)

The Honda NX 650 Dominator is a budget dual-sport motorcycle powered by a 644cc single-cylinder engine, produced by the Japanese manufacturer between 1988 and 2003.
Italy’s motorcycle design guru Oberdan Bezzi has come up with a rendering for a new Honda Dominator. Nowadays, such a bike would have to compete with models such as the Yamaha XT 660Z Tenere, BMW F 650 GS and Kawasaki KLX 650, but if the previous Dominator’s reliability and great mileage were also taken in consideration, we reckon the middleweight dual-sport segment will soon have a new leader. Still, that is only and only if Honda ever decides to revive the Dominator.
Looks like even a supermoto version isn’t to be neglected either.












Looks like xr650r engine to me. Great idea...

Wow, that looks pretty sweet actually, unmistakably Dommieish, upside down forks too.

Surely though they can do something more with the silencer(s), it spoils it a bit.

Wonder if it'll be as good as the original on and off road...It has a lot to live up to, hope they make it!!!

Should be easy to put an xr650r motor etc into an fmx chassis... result wouldn't be much different, just a bit of plastic here and there.
