2010 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F v Suzuki GSX650F review

[eldaguinio]

I can't hear you!! ...shitti wind hahaha!!

[lewisnwkc]

lol your wearing the same coloured bobble hat as I did on my school coach trip when I was in Junior School! I'm loving the Diversion F ofcourse... but that bobble hat takes priority for me at this moment

[AncientGreekGods]

you so dropped the yamaha dude.....damn what a scar 0:10

[baneshield]

dude, did you caught flu?

[mynametakenagain1]

For gods sake stop using the on camera microphones!

[shebbinho]

i don't get why you are always testing the gsx-f 650 instead of the bandit, since the gsx-f 650 is a bandit with a gsx front and no adjustable windshield and seat and without the two little storage cases the bandit has since 2010. If you are testing the touring aspects of these machines, i think the bandit 650s would be a better fit.

[darich67]

There's a dirty big scrape on the XJ6 at 10seconds!!

[CBRboy1717]

@darich67 I think that would be salt residue dripping down the side coming off of the front wheel.

[bnCOD]

nice hat, I used to wear one just like yours when I was 6.

[ThePCMaster2000]

@bnCOD ah shut up kid, noone cares about that

[fasttrackpk]

Suzuki GSX650F is far far better than Yamaha XJ6. i am 175 cm and very happy with suzuki. (Best choice)

[sicknwrong]

@fasttrackpk thats your personal opinion. Saying something is far better is what you think. This is my opinion i hated the 650s riding position over the diversion. Diversion was the best choice i could make.

[Mechkiller1982]

Holy crap. Almost a year has past. My life, slipping away.

[emaildorajao]

buy a microfone on ebay.

[roskeooo1]

Im tall 196cm, I like suzuki and i dont knew will it suit me beter. I can get xj6 cheaper in entry level (no spoiler and no abs). Evin model whit abs has lower price.

Please help me because am sirius to bay it.

Sorry my english is not so gut

thanks

[stguyx]

@roskeooo1 Considering how tall you are the suzuki would be better for you even the yamaha is not to bad either I'm 192 cm and it didn't feel crampy but the suzuki is bigger and betteer for tall drivers, and one other thing if you often drive with a pasenger the suzuki is also better

[sicknwrong]

i've just bought the yamaha xj6 diversion 2009 "new" from my dealer and it costs £4,500 ..i sat on the 650f and found the bars are too wide and the riding position to be unconfy i'm a big guy at 6"4 and if you decide for a non sports bike ide recommend the xj6..if you can get a 09 version go for it..same bike but without the lower fair and abs..but for over 1k less i'm not complainin.

[gurveersingh]

The GSX650F look really good...

[jarnosic]

xj6 diversion F, the best!

[antopoman]

I think the yamaha looks and sounds better

[AviBaby18]

that wasn't the conclusion i wanted to hear =[ the xj6 is sooo attractive... but it seems you've picked up on what I want a bike to do on the gsx-600

[spiderrj]

''yamaha is the best''no chance

[camaroblackmatte]

nice review..like a pro without effects... use some audio mixer, channel normalisation to get rid of the ss sound... the camera does not have a super mic

[stevenv1992]

Tom Sykes look-a-like

[yutokinemi]

well I´d go 4 the xj6 although the gsx´s selling price is unbeatable

[hellicks]

Excellent review. Very accurate and common-sensed.

[htse009]

You can actually get the GSX650F in ABS as well. Ask your Suzuki dealer about it

[rucksack1]

Not in the UK you can't.

[Symbrio]

if i'm not mistaken, gsx650f comes only with ABS.

[stevenv1992]

The Suzuki is 230kg? What a lump for a 600!

[sandes1988]

Well presented Chris! :-)

[flyingminno]

I have to say, I've ridden both, but I own the Yamaha and am loving it.

[pepeleyva]

I would buy the Yamaha

[LokiDWolf]

I miss winter riding in Chicago. I would do the Yamaha though. Nothing beats that ABS! :)

[harshp99]

i feel you man. when we got to 45 last weekend, iwas really considering going for a ride

[jasmin718]

wow I so want the sazuki bike and the price is reasonable as well

[rsscoyote]

the XJ6 have 4 cilinders in line?

[jt666666666]

yes it does, its based on the R6 engine

[supersayin1]

Wow the XJ6 Looks pretty good for that type of bike !

[dbauernf]

Must say results of this review don't surprise me much (and probably won't surprise most), the GSX is a repacked Suzuki Bandit, and that's a bike, comfortable touring bike, much bigger and heavier then the Diversion. the XJ6 is a lot more in the same class with the er6f, or the sv650/gladius etc

[seqartmark]

Agreed. I hope they'll put it in the "Budget Bike Comparison" this year.

[madbiker53]

great lookin bikes :)
