Honda’s lean and mean Vigor 650 is a fun-packed 'city scrambler' designed to deftly

cut through ma zes of urban traffic and happily careen down weather-beaten gravelroads like it was born to them. Powered by a big, single- cylinder 'thumper' engine

that starts at the touch of a button, the Vigor features l ong-travel off-road-type

suspension systems, comfortable seating, extra carrying capacity and a distinctive

style that makes an ideal mount for work, play and just getting around.

Extremely versatile, the FX650 has

everything to please and then some.

Basic, roa dster, t rail, a nd scrambler,

it is all of these and capab le of

attra cting a maximum of bikers,

recent converts, sporting tow nies

and taking in Sunday riders along

the way. Perfectly balanced, fitted

with an engine derived from that of

the Dominator, it aims to be handy,

fun, practical, easy to ride and at

home both in town and on the road.

The FX650 already raises eyebrows

with its definite character, its unique

looks and its economical a spects

both in terms of its purchase price

as w ell as running costs. A machine

w hich is distinctive, very lively, sa fe,

easy to ride, comfortable, stable,

has good braking, good suspension

and… no competition.

Vi go r 6 5 0Colouring Concept 

The year 2000 sees the Vigor tearing

up the streets in two exciting colourvariat ions. First, a brilliant , pearles-

cent yellow injects a blast of lively

excitement into the European street

scene by grabbing attention wherever

it goes. Next a deep, metallic mid-

night blue emphasises the Vigor’s

rugged individuality w ith an under-

stated strength that jumps to life at

the twist of its throttle.

As always, the Vigor’s moulded

matte-black sidecovers provide astylish ba se tone that gives a strong

visual emphasis to all the colour

variat ions w hile helping to shield

passenger legs from the heat of the

exhaust system.

• Pearl Shining Yellow • Prime Blue Metallic

New Fea tu r es

• New colour varia t ion.

Gener al Featur es

• The FX650 is the very model

of versatility.

• I t is the perfect town bike and a

roadster which is not averse to fun.

• The engine, taken from the

Dominato r, ha s been revised as fa r

as the camshaf t, fuel system

and exhaust system are concerned

to offer more flexibility while

giving it more character.

• The steel frame weighs 8kg less

than tha t of the Dominator.

It is rigid and aims for the ideal

compromise betw een stability

and ease of handling.

• The suspension is sophisticated:

Pro-Link at the rear and 41mm

forks at the front.These components, branded

Show a, provide comfort

and consistent roa d-holding.

• The 276mm front disc is a feast

of power and progressiveness.

The twin-piston Brembo calliper

is no stra nger to these qua lities.

• The 19 inch front wheel is

midway between that of a trail

(21 inches) and a sports bike

(17 inches). This gives greater

versatility and a good

driveab ility/stab ility/safety ra tio.

• The tw in exhaust tailpipe is

in stainless steel and the tw o

silencers are chromed, contribut-

ing to the distinctive lines.

• The headlamp and the speedometer

are housed behind a small but

superbly designed steering head.• A small aluminium engine guard

protects the crankcase from

any impacts.

• The removable luggage carrier

has a compartment w hich w ill

easily carry a U-lock.

• The 13 litre tank gives a range

of more than 200km.

• With a low saddle, the FX fits

all sizes.

• The relaxing position, as well as

the long and soft saddle provide

the passenger w ith a high degree

of comfort.

• The FX650 has a two year war-

ranty a nd benefits from the quality

of the Honda service network.
