All variants possessed a four-stroke engine with a cylinder and four valves, an electric starter and, initially, a kick starter. The 500 cc version differs only in the lower cylinder capacity of 650 cc version. The 250 cc version is an original model, however, since the motor is water cooled as opposed to the two large air-cooled engines. Also, trim, frame and design of the 250 differ from the 500 / 650 cc versions significantly. The Honda NX125, some with the surname Trans City, is seen rarely in Germany as it is to get only as an import from France, Italy or Brazil.
