Honda NX250 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1988-1990)

The Honda NX250, a versatile dual-sport motorcycle, was available in the United States from 1988 to 1990. It was powered by a consistent 249cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve engine (MD21E), featuring electric start and a six-speed transmission. This engine typically produced around 26 hp (19 kW) at 8,500 rpm, offering a balanced performance for both on-road and off-road adventures. Throughout its production run from 1988 to 1990, the Honda NX250 did not undergo any major generational or engine changes. The MD21E engine remained identical across all model years. Updates were limited to minor cosmetic revisions and feature additions. For instance, in 1989, a rear carrier became standard, and handlebars were chrome-plated. The model years were primarily distinguished by color schemes, such as Trad Blue Metallic and Pearl Crystal White in 1988, and Just Ross White with distinct fairing stripes in 1990. A related model, the Honda AX-1, was a modified version for other markets, featuring different components like alloy rims and a rear disc brake, but the US NX250 maintained its core design. FAQ:
