The versatile and reliable Honda Dominator had a long and illustrious run as one of Honda's top dual-sport motorcycles, debuting in 1988 and remaining in continuous production for the European market until 2003. The bike's powerful and dependable four-stroke engine had precursors dating back to 1985 and continues to inspire later Honda dual-sport bikes to the present day. With the eBay listings before you, you can make this rugged motorcycle yours.
