I have this bike and i love to ride it. It´s engine is not "shy" but it isn´t too much powerful either (for a 600cc diplacement). It is a decent bike if you look for a reliable, good-looking, and... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent mid range starter bike

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not cutting edge

    I have recently been fortunate to have been bought an XJ600S Diversion by my dear wife (Bless her). She has known I've been after a bike since I sold my last one seven years ago. Previously I had had a Suzuki A100, a Honda H100S2 and a Suzuki GSX250. Maybe I'm getting old but my re-entry to biking is with the midrange Diversion, something that some of my ZZR and FZR friends have looked down their noses at. The bike I now have is a P Reg with 8500 miles on it as such this is the old model, with only a single front disk instead of the twin disks on later models. It has had two owners from new ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good, solid, reliable commutor bike.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not at all fast or flashy.

    I bought an M reg Diversion with 16,000 miles on the clock, about 5 years ago. I use it as my only means of transport and ride it in all weathers. I must be every bike's worst nightmare - the bike is kept on the street, has never been serviced and eventually goes to the garage when the tyres are bald and the brake pads are down to the metal. (I am not proud of myself!) Despite this appalling treatment, my Diversion has been very reliable and only really requires the bare minimum of mantainance. (which is very lucky really) I have taken my bike comfortably up to 95mph but it clearly has more ... more

    Advantages Advantages Genuine all round bike, fun to ride, easy to live with, cheap to run, reliable, good tourer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Might be a little boring for some of you? Very tall seat.

    OK so i got mine to replace a much bigger/more powerful bike, Honda CB1300 X4 which was starting to eat its electrics and proving hard/expensive to find parts for. So I found a 1995 vintage XJ900 Diversion that had just been brought in and a deal was reached. I have a very clean and tidy motorcycle complete with the official Yamaha Diversion Hard Panniers and a medium sized Shad top box (Big enough for a full faced helmet and a bit more). The bike is not quite standard in that apart from the luggage it has a taller smoked screen fitted (which is nice because I am tall). So on to the ride, I ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lightweight great fuel economy fun cheap to run cheap insurance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages exhaust front brakes

    So its actually the xj600N i own but the only difference between the S and the N is the N has no fairing at all (a Naked bike) the S has the fairing. Well i bought my XJ600n a year and a half ago now it's a 2003 model and to be honest its generally a great little commuter bike. Its ideal as a first big bike or a back to bikes starter. My one has now only got 13000 miles on the clock and has not really given me much hassle. I have recently had to change the chain and sprockets because the chain bent (due to my oversized rear end and i dont mean the bike) this is work that all bikes need done ... more

    Advantages Advantages well balanced , superb fairing , robust , reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages chain drive train , heavy , high ride height

    Through my many years as a central London courier for one of the more famous and largest firms , i had the unique perspective of riding several bikes to death , not many bikes will with stand 11 hours of constant hard filtering and top speed cruising on distance work. The Diversion series by Yamaha is one of the few bikes that will always have its praises sung by couriers and professional bikers alike. The high ride and comfortable up-right seating position and well balanced frame offer excelent control for slow speed filtering and mid range maneovering, the over sized back brake pedal is ... more
