The Honda NX250 was a new concept produced by Honda, a crossover dual-sport motorcycle available in the USA from 1988 thru 1990. It is a lightweight bike intended for both on-road and off-road riding. It was never produced by Honda in substantial numbers, but was met with generally positive reviews with its perfect balance of power, size, and style.

The NX250 featured an all new compact, liquid cooled, 249 cc, single cylinder, four-valve, D.O.H.C, four-stroke engine with electric start. 26 hp (19 kW) at 8,500 rpm, at 11 to 1 compression ratio, 2.4 Kgm torque at 7,500 rpm. It had a bore and stroke of 70.0 × 64.8 mm (2.76 × 2.55 in) and a six-speed transmission.

The NX250 averages 70 miles per US gallon (3.4 L/100 km; 84 mpg_-imp) , fuel capacity is 9 litres (2.4 gallons including reserve) with refills needed at around 130 miles (210 km). The NX250's maximum speed (per speedometer) is 95 miles per hour (153 km/h) , though it has been known to be capable of speeds nearing 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), and it is both quick and agile. The suspension is 37 millimetres (1.5 in) forks with 8.7" travel up front, and Pro-Link with 7.9" in the rear. It has a 1,350 millimetres (53 in) wheelbase and a dry weight of 118 kilograms (260 lb) . The seat height is 820 millimetres (32 in) .

It was only available in two colors, Metallic Blue and Pearl White. In some countries Honda continued production of the NX250 up to 1993, it was named "Dominator" and came in various other colors.

AX-1

Another version of Honda NX-250 was the Honda AX-1 intended only for the Japanese market. Using the same chassis as the NX-250, the AX-1 came standard with alloy rims, aluminum Pro-Link rear suspension this time with a rear disc brake, dual round headlights, taller cams, stainless steel exhaust and different carburetor settings. AX-1 outputs 29 horsepower at 8500 RPM at 11 to 1 compression ratio and 2.6 kgm torque at 7500 rpm.

Owners occasionally report CDI failures, although both models are considered extremely reliable. The valve clearance check interval is every 24,000 miles.
