I like it

They just look like they are tons of fun!

I'll also bet it weighs alot relative to it's power. Struggles on highway too. I agree they are cool, but motards lose something when they come from the factory like that. Conversions are way cooler.

At the recent Intermot show Honda unveiled a new entrant in to the street biased supermoto class.

While most of the offerings currently in the marketplace lean towards outright performance, somewhat at the expense of practicality and reliability, Honda have chosen to direct their efforts towards commuters and those who want a street based single that promises years of reliable service with minimal servicing requirements.

Providing the get up and go for the 163kg machine is what appears to be the same dependable unit fitted to the NX650 Dominator in recent years. It is an air-cooled RFVC (Radial Four Valve Combustion) single displacing 644cc.

A push-button electric starter and fully electronic ignition combine with the engine’s fully automatic camshaft integrated decompression system for quick and easy one-touch starts in all weather conditions, and a single-shaft balancer reduces vibration.

Ratios in the five-speed gearbox are designed for road use.

The FMX650 features a large-volume, dual-canister stainless steel exhaust system that feeds out in parallel from the engine’s two exhaust ports. Made entirely of stainless steel, the system stands out with its two large-capacity buff-finish silencers reaching upward

The FMX650 frame is of the single backbone variety similar to that seen in the Honda Hornet.

In this application the main backbone acts as the oil reservoir for the dry sump engine. It holds an ample 2.5 litres of oil.

Wide set Gold anodised 45mm upside-down forks control the front of the machine and provide 218mm of travel. At the rear the normal Honda Pro-Link supports the show via a 40mm shock which gives 186mm of travel.

Light alloy rims are shod with 120/70-17 rubber up front and a 150/60-17 at the rear.

Bringing the show to a halt is a twin-piston caliper up front clamping on a large 296mm disc rotor while at the rear a 220mm disc is employed.

Options that are available for the FMX650 include a rear carrier, cargo net, 20mm lower seat, patterned seat skins, various decal sets and handguards. Some of these items appear in the photos we show you on these pages.

At this stage it is unclear if this European developed machine will be available in the Australian market.
