[stanzbertoldi]

[65NIXON]

XJ6 is bicycle

[Hytachyfdp]

ducati 696 or yamaha xj6 ?

[1382713827]

That was a rubbish video.

I was sick of watching the same damned clip of the diversion going round the same bend the second time.... let alone the fourth and 100th time.

[niffy86]

Would this bike be good for a beginner rider?? I welcome your comments.........

[XKLeins]

Yes and the quality is amazing. Really a good choice.

[messos]

I'm thinking to get this bike as my first bike, what do you guys think?? I will be riding it around town.. not much highway in my country.

[ElCoco1984]

@messos it is a good bike! :)

[messos]

@ElCoco1984 Really? Thanks for recommend! I really love this bike a lot! hoping to get it as soon as I have got enough cash :-) are you riding 1 of it?

[ElCoco1984]

@messos You cannot do anything wrong with this bike! It rides really well in my opinion and the quality is amazing! I am used to Honda, but his is almost equally good. :)

[rick666555]

LOL 1: 31

[gbonesrider]

Are they not sold in america?

[jerseyy]

are those the stock rear tires?? i always thought xj6's had some thin rear tires

[lotsooo]

In australia the Fz6r is a lams version of the xj6. The Fz6r is restricted for learners, not so the xj6.

[fikri1996]

1.28 accident ==

[Slinterz]

@MrMotherpucker It is a LAM, surprising as it looks BEAST.

[luishenriquetf]

Prestem atenção no minuto 2:44 -> 2:45, o bixo dá uma brecada forte..eahsueh

[MrMotherpucker]

is XJ6 lams?

[hofmarskal]

Sligtly less powerfull then the FZ6?

Isn't it only a 72 HP MC?

[7cell]

I wonder if parts from this bike will fit on my 1992 XJ600

[badman2504]

This Diversion sounds like its working harder than it really needs to be, I guess it is because its a heavily revised R6 lump, but it does sound like its working too hard for my tastes

[kooliosis66]

"Yamha" fail.

[roydied15]

that rear swing arm looks horrible.

[wallts]

Que lindo bicho cuanto cuesta un bebe de estos u$S 10.000 ????

[155571063]

@wallts 10.000 dolares ni ahi se va pa los 20.000 eso

[155571063]

@wallts qe 10.000 dolares eso se va a los 20.000 dolares

[lateboy4]

1.29 R.I.P

[0Apocalypse0]

1:32 R.I.P

[ERST105]

Buy a tri-pod you lazy so and so. Shakes make me feel sick.

[rjskylinegtr]

I have a doubt. Today I ybr250 a pilot, about 2 ½ years, was my first bike, and I'll get a bigger bike now. I'm in doubt between two motorcycles q taste. Buell xb9sx and yamaha xj6. never ridden anything like that before, what do you recommend? I know something about technical riding, but have never used a powerful engine in life, only drove the ybr250 until now

[TommyTucker0]

By "Busy" he means you can "cane it" so why is that a bad thing? I love it !! :)

[HeelNToeMotorsports]

I wish they'd bring the naked version stateside. It would look damn good in black.

[Frillar]

@HeelNToeMotorsports couldn't you just buy a diversion and remove the front fairings?

would be pretty much identical to the naked xj6.

[djZiego]

yes .. everywhere but the USA .... sucks.

[sidmario]

YAMHA :(

[cynic150]

Some say the Suzuki Gladius is better than this. You don't even mention that one?

[wkpowe]

The XJ6 was also known as the yamaha Seca II in the states. I always wondered if they were going to bring it back. The FZR was a totally different bick, it had more of a racer background 

[ThaBR33D]

the Xj6 diversion is the same or nearly the same at the FZ6R in america correct?

[peavyt15]

@ThaBR33D everything but the body work.

[HunterPilot24]

It looks cool and sounds like it has a nice mixture of good attributes for its class making it quite competitive in the market... but that sound... It sounds awful. Not the scream of a high compression inline bike or the purr of a twin... kinda just bad.

[gopherbar]

Ordered my XJ6-S ABS today, picking it up on Monday from Yamaha UK

[Adutis911]

At the end off a corner they are testing tires :D

P.S. Naked version is incredible piece off work I love it :)

[rsx123]

You don't need much top end with a naked bike since there's no fairing to block wind, and you get torque down low with a twin where it matters for 90% of riding.

[ed1nh0]

XJ6 for sure!

[reisguilherme]

GOOD STUFF MATE

[rsx123]

If the xj6 naked had a twin.....I would forget about the monster

[LaConductaHumana]

terrible camera work. Good info.

[jathe5th]

yamaha:) no doubt

[Antonio9069455]

0 -100 ????

[domez94]

GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GEJ

[dimgwalltameiben]

Looks bloody orrible. XS 650 - that's a REAL motorbike.

[yutokinemi]

is it a good first bike for a beginner in spite of being a 4 cyls?

[naythCC]

Watch the video?

'Aimed at the new rider'

I wouldnt however have it as a first - indefinatly first LARGE motorcycle - but go for a 50cc or 125cc or 250cc first. Get used to riding.

=]

[dimgwalltameiben]

Good comment - 4 someone to pass their test on a CG and get straight on a 130 mph bike is not good

[KnownAsGrey]

a mate of mine went from a 50cc crosser to an V-Twin SV650 the results are not funny :P

[niamhhennessy14]

yes, 33bhp restrict is fine too! some riding schools use them so must be good!

im torn between this bike and the yam mt-03

[earthboundcruiser]

I wish the MT-03 was a twin with a little more highway ability....I love that thing. But for all round riding the XJ6 and the Gladius are better bikes IMO.

[c00lchill3r]

I think the '09 XJ6 Diversion from this vid is called FZ6R in the US....

(correct me if I'm wrong)

[niamhhennessy14]

different bikes, the xj is an fz which has been tuned for more mid range nd stuff, its a bit less focused than the fz

[da9illest821]

You are correct sir.

[rutlandplace]

Is that dude bustin for a piss or what

[c00lchill3r]

haha, thought the same ;)

[SaraDupastara]

only nitro is 3000$

[SaraDupastara]

my friend have Hayabusa Tuning + nitro for 3000$ is 430km/h

[JayzBeerz]

I just got the FZ6R here in the US and it is bad ass.

[Bloodsport7]

looks better stripped down...

perfect for stunt riding

[sergiobluesman]

no se si es poca moto pero me gustaria probarla, aunque si que ya yo digo que se me queda un poco corta de motor. pero bueno, hoy dia tienes de sobra con este pepinito. se la ve comoda. aunque como dice el colega este no es muy fina que digamos. haber si puedo probarla, por ahora me quedo con la fz6.

[jesusperezamorano]

poca moto

[Uncle5cary]

kawasaki had a better idea to design an engine for this mid-range standard class. Reworking the r6 motor to make torque is not as successful.

[liljonfunk]

Why keep showing the same corner oooover and ooover and over again?

[Juan1326]

P.S.: I'm sorry for my English...

Isn't my first lenguage...

[petko17]

nice bike, now i have a dilema as well, xj6, sv650, gladius??

[JSSV]

I'm literally being torn in three different directions by the decision of which to buy. The Yamaha XJ6, the Kawasaki ER-6N or the Suzuki GSR600... HELP!

[REDO5R1]

Just buy the 2009 yamaha r1.

[JSSV]

Yeah, because thats a very sensible bike isnt it

[Nitro636776]

r1 is useless on the road

[biglandfarm]

gsr600

[Juan1326]

Kawasaki Z750 or Suzuki GSR600...

[JSSV]

Why would you recommend those two? I ruled out the XJ6 as it's to expensive in my opinion. I think the GSR600 is to tame althought i do like its look but i prefered the look of the ER-6n but havent ridden one yet

[sylar1717]

ill tell you 4 free, er6 is nasty yo ride, it looks nice from a distance but when you look closely it gets cheap! a friend of mine brought 1 last summer and regrets it!

[Juan1326]

Ok... I recommend those 2 because the GSR600 is the best of the 600s naked bikes... in my opinion... just ride one... and the Z750 has a similar style and 150cc more.... its just a perfect bike for my daily needs. Also you have to check the 09 ER-6n... its new look is too nice (white color wow!)... but I don't like 2cylinders bikes. see u!

[LoRdBoOZ3]

i agree with yeh mate.. but i like the z750 aggressive style... and i don't like twins as well.. I-4s... :D

[LoRdBoOZ3]

i'd go with the Z

[sylar1717]

id say leave all them bikes out and get a fazer, if your on a tight buget get 1 thats a year old.....

[Nitro636776]

Just get the one it looks better to you, they all are very good bikes. I personally prefere the v-twin torque so I'd go for the SV.

[phoenixar]

excellent review! a lot of useful knowledge here!

[dbauernf]

First thing in the spring guys, you gotta compare it to the ER6n/ER6f, and maybe the Gladius. I don't think it's meant as competiton to CBF600 or the Bandit, but ER6 vs XJ6 shootout should be very usefull for begginers. I prefer the FZ6 to my ER6, but already on the FZ6 I miss the ER6's torque..

[dbauernf]

Fix the video strech, please :-|

[BritishRider]

The naked version looks amazing.

[wahthefck]

ROFL i wonder what happened at that corner with the screeching

[BIWOZ]

Very likely that he was doing a hard stop so he could turn back and take the run again for the camera(s).

[glozick]

@wahthefck hahahahah

[2wheelsteve]

@wahthefck thats a joke haha

[jimmy012691]

@wahthefck

[RYANREEN]

@wahthefck hit a squirrel

[IsaSkyLimit]

@wahthefck lol i think he crashed but they cutted it xD

[akamikeg]

weird aspect ratio =\ cool bikes!
