Das Forum rund um die Honda NX Baureihe

Hi,
Sold my little NX 250. Wanted something a bit stronger and not too heavy… or too expensive! The winner was a Suzuki Freewind 650. Spent last Saturday working on it: adjust valves, change oil, filter, wheel bearings, new rear tire…

A picture from the “new” XF (later will add better pictures):


Anyway, I have now a few stuffs that may be interesting. After Michael’s permission, I announce it here:
Oil and air filter from Hiflofilter to your NX 250:



Rear right side panel (it’s white) but you can paint on the color you want:



A CDI for our little engine. It’s the “update” version from Shindengen. Not Chinese junk. It’s working perfectly. Bought it as spare but never needed.


Would prefer to sell the 4 stuff as a pack.

150 euros at your door (here in Europe). Payment by money transfer.

More info or questions… feel free to ask here or by pm!

Thanks for watching.

I’m informing that items were sold.

In the meantime, let me say something more about the reasons that made sell the NX.
Let’s be honest! The NX 250 it’s a sweet bike. Easy to ride and maintain, light, nimble, low running costs… the problem was me! Not the bike!
Wanted something a bit more “stronger”! Not too expensive, not to powerful, not too fat… tried the NX 650 but hated the bike: tall seat, vibration and the engine reliability…

The DR 650 was a good alternative but too dirt oriented and I found a 97’ XF Freewind that suits me perfectly: not to heavy (different to light bike), a low seat, reliable as hell (already did a few preventive mods). God bless Internet!
So, I’m now enjoying my new toy and, before some pictures will say the minus and plus, comparing to the NX 250. Did a hard work wrenching (oil, filters, adjust valves…) but enjoyed every second and it’s very easy to work on that engine/bike:

Plus:
Low/middle torque: of course it’s a 650 cc engine;
Comfort: including to passenger;
Long travels: reasonable choice to travel at 120/140 km/h.

Minus:
Weight: the difference is huge: more than 30 kg;
Riding costs: insurance, fuel consumption;
Flexibility: namely on (soft) off-road.

Forgot to add that I still have a front brand new tire:

Bridgestone TW 39 90/100-19. 55€ plus shipping.
