Bike of kings! ;) 3.5 years, two Euro tours, a trackday and nearly 30000 miles later and I still love mine. The footpegs are a little worse for wear though! I also get around 4.7-5l/100km.

I bought one of these. It's my first bike. A 2009 XJ6-Diversion with ABS . It only had 3000 km's on it and is brandnew! I did a superdeal on it, very pleased with it!

I had this bike for 4 years (fz6r US) and it's an excellent bike. I rode just about everywhere on it. 2up and off road. It was my "GS" type of bike. Made 52k miles before selling it. The only thing is that I always wanted more power on a highway, especially when 2up. At about 70 mph and up I needed more pickup power. More fun... etc. Also, today's cars are more powerful than before, and you need more highway grunt in order to escape and not blend in. Thank you Cager for delivering your videos. They're informative and entertaining.

8 years and 50,000 miles later, I still love my Yamaha fz6r !!

The xj6 is where legends are born 😂 Just picked up a 2012 xj6n with 7000 fsh, like new. Beautiful bike, in line 4 is super fun

Day-um! Portugal looks like the motorcycle heaven of the world. Another killer vid.

Seeing you rocking this XJ6 up and down this great bends makes my heart cry about the fact that my Missy still is at the dealership for her crash recovery. Also i enjoyed watching you having such a great time with this awesome machine :D Time to get one yourself and trade in your nc700 haha ;) Ride Safe man and keep up the great videos. And thanks for mentioning my offroad'ish ride haha, i feel awesome now :D :D

"and after 6,5 it's AAAAAA!!!" - you are the best :) Great weather btw, I need to relocate :)

Jelly of the scenery you have there. I don't typically like watching bike reviews, but yours are always great.

I've watched plenty of your videos in the past few days as I'm looking for my first big, I love your thorough reviews and enthusiastic attitude, thanks for the great content and I subbed now. :)

Recordo-me de ver a tua primeira review da versão carenada há uma ano e tal e noto uma grande evolução na condução. Agora apontas o cabeça para o apex da curva. Até tornaste os vídeos mais dinâmicos. Muito bom. Parabéns e um abraço

I bought a XJ6 today😍 Cant wait to drive it 💪🏻

That would be sooo awesome If you could test the yamaha r6 *.*

Awesome test-ride CagerOnTwoWheels! And the scenery is AMAZING. About the XJ6, I have the feeling that we will get one soon, and that you will be "humpf"-ing on it on a daily basis... 😉

I just bought a xj6 diversion and its lovely to ride

Very nice cager! I love this bike because i have it :)

thank you for review especially 17,30 comparison with cb 650f these were two bikes in my mind.

In my opinion this is real review! When a man after a while drives by and says exactly what's going on. You poisoned me in positive way to the XJ6... Thank you. I'm following you... ;)

I noticed over the last year or so that you are like a master of multitasking. You speak in foreign language about stuff and yet you manage to stay concentrated enough to ride with 100 kmh through the twisties. I don't think i can do that.

Hi I thank you for the video about my first bike 😊 and I smile like joker ,too

The FZ-07 get's an astounding 69.2 MPG though. Put a small windscreen on it to deny the bugs access and I think it's a better bike than the FZ6R imho. Plus it's almost a cool grand cheaper here in Canada.

great review, great bike, beautiful part of the world you live in.

Just what I am looking for.

I have the old 1994 Diversion perhaps i'll try that newer model...

Yeah, seems like a great bike to own as an "only" bike - one bike which does it all, much like the NC700/750, I feel. As per your comments about the Honda (and Hondas in general) being a bit bland, yeah, that's my out-look on them too. When I was shopping for my last bike, it was hard to beat the NC700, it won in pretty much every way as a commuter...but I just couldn't bring myself to do so - my commute is too short to justify it only as a commuter.

Incredible review. That's my mind made up!!!

Any chance of a review of a BMW F800s/st ? I'm thinking of getting either a beemer the yammy or an NC..

Cager you impress me, love your reviews. Love the scenic routes you ride on. I'm from the Acores Sao Miguel. But never been to Portugal mainland. Miss the ocean views, hope to some day ride by the ocean side. Ride safe bud, from Toronto Canada. Oh yeah I ride a CB750 Nighthawk sweet ride lovely machine you might say LOL But just today again i was looking at the Yamaha FZ6R like the look, I trust your review so been looking at getting one, but keeping my nighthawk though lovin it From Toronto obrigado amigo

The NC700 is the Nissan qashquai of bikes, i think. Quality made, fairly cheap for what they give, practical, urban, well equipped, easy and cheap to maintain, and even pretty. And from what i can tell, this one is more like a... i dont know, a Mini Cooper LOL. Fun, but rational enough. Anyway, is there more wind noise than usual, or is just me?

Hello IRQ1 you cant compare an FZ07 to a FZ6R,different machines dude, plus the FZ07 is a twin, very torquey yes but the ingine breaking on that bike is horrible.I rode one,much different machine I much prefer the in line 4 of the FZ6R smoother.

Is it a good first bike for someone who has never ridden before (Weight/Torque wise) ?

I'm a beginner and I was wondering which bike to choose this one, or the Kawa ER6F. Looking at this bike, there is not much room to sit for the passenger right? How are the passenger seats feel and to what can the passenger actually hold on to? How does the bike handle itself with two people on it? Should I just start off with a naked version of this or, ER6N, maybe even suzuki SFV 650 Gladius? Thank you in advance!

always nice to see you ride cager :)

MT-125 Review please! Keep up with the awesome work ;)

I was thinking to trade in my cb500f for one like this (probably the diversion F since I don't like the look of a half faired bike), cause now in the winter it does indeed sucks balls to not have any wind protection (I know I should've listened to others advice, but I just thought the naked bike looked better) (still do actually) But I fear that i'll just get used to it way to quickly because the difference in power isn't that spectacular... (since I've ridden kawasaki ER6-f and suzuki gladius' from friends that have about the same amount of power but way more torque down low) I might just skip the 600-650 sporty/sport tourer bike's and try out a liter bike like the kawa Z1000SX...

Hi Cager, great review as always! I've got a Honda CBR650F and I love it, great value, plenty of performance for the road, good economy and comfortable. Plus Honda quality and reliability. The CBR also seems to handle very well and looks better in my opinion. I really like the look of the new Yamaha MT09 'Tracer' (soft road hybrid), I would like Yamaha to build a XJ-09 fully faired sports touring version on the MT09 with their Triple engine as I think that might be the perfect compromise. Anyway ride safe mate and thanks for the vids!

i am thinking of buying the 2011 model, is it comfortable for daily commuting? would you reccomend it for city and some highways in daily basis?

After ur first review of the xj6 diversion I decided to get one and maaan, I am veeery happy, actually now I own one just like the one in this review, but of blue color and limited for A2. It is heavier then the yamaha Mt07 and Honda Cb 500 ( my other 2 options) but once on the move, you don t feel that diference, actually is a lot more confortable then the other 2 ( my wife after trying the back "seat" of the MT 07 said "hell no!") . The sound is waay better on this one then the Honda, and the Mt07 doesn t offer any wind protection. For more experienced riders I recomend the Fazer or the Hornet, but this one has a bit of everything and you don t have to be Rossi to ride it, it s great for town use(it does get very hot, cooks your b@lls) for comuting and even twesties. I enjoy ur reviews and ur country (been in Aveiro , Lisboa and crossed the country N-S) soon I ll upload a video of a great costal road near where I live, the Costa Brava, N of Spain. See ya

Aqui no Brazil, a XJ6 vem com pneus Metzeler monocompostos com uma péssima aderência. E pneus não são baratos para simplesmente trocar por aqui. =/ Nice video Cager! =)

How do you think this stacks up against a CB500F? I'm looking for a bike to to ride mostly in city and urban areas with traffic lights, heavy traffic etc. Basically no highways. This or the Honda?

I'm interested in buying one of those, but I have a question: a 171 cm high and 77 cm leg length would I be fine on this bike?

Sweet reviews cager, if theres a bmw dealer near you, id love to see you on an s1000rr. It doesn't even have to be that, just some more ridiculously over powered bike because you make it fun to watch

what is the fuel consumption? tnx I'm thinking between this and Honda NC700S. Both have very good advantages.

CalmBiker has the same bike and he loves it. Him and his friend put new exhaust on it and it sounded great. I'm sure you heard of him but if not look him up :) Great review though and will we get another Cagerina vlog??? XD

Hi Cager . Have you ever tried riding Suzuki V Strom 650 ?

Awesome video as usual, any chance of a review on the Sym Wolf 125cc NI which is the upgraded and newer version of the bike you reviewed last month. Thanks

Great review Cager, many thanks!

Beautiful bike.

Man , just SUBSCRIBED!!! You make some of the best reviews on you tube!!!!!!!!!!!! I just need your advice, despite all the amenities on the SV650 ABS and the electronics that make it a great begginer's bike, the Diversion XJ6 , is either good for a begginer ???? (heavier than the SV ? , also easier to handle ? , mileage ? , 4cyl > 2cylinder but that V2 sound though... : / ) Hope to help me choose , CHEERS ;)

Cager on Two Wheels - V.P. Have you ever ridden the older 1990's model diversion?

between XJ6 & SV650 , which one you prefer for commuting?

great review, I think I'm going to make an offer on one on ebay on the strength of your review. cheers

How is the seats for commander? Can you tell something about it?

Fantastic review!!!

I wonder how does this XJ6 compare to pre 2007 FZ6 (or FZ6 S2) and 2007+ FZ6 S which has +- he same engine...

is this bike better than the ninja650 .is the diversion the same as the xj6n ?.

And when exactly will you get one? It´s way to obvious, that you love this bike... =D.

Atenção: os videos são bons, mas preocupa certas velocidades em certos sítios e certas transgressões. Juntando peças do puzzle, é fácil um dia teres a polícia a porta.

Cager, mais do mesmo? podias ter feito apenas a publicidade no canal português...há ai tanta mota para fazer reviews...

great review cager!! are you going to test ride a proper super sport bike soon??

Holy smokes - where do you live ?? I would kill for weather like that ....

Thats an awesome review cager....now im more confused, this or mt07 hehe

That is a pretty bike. I do still prefer the naked look though.

I'm pretty sure this bike has 76 hp not 87. Its the cbr650f that has 87hp

Do you have a review on the suzuki sfv650

great review

Cager u drive so much fast please slow bit, we love u.

I have the naked version xj6n-sp

Cager. How tall are you? Just found the channel and love the way you review. Just wondering your height as I'm 195cms so being taller I wonder how I'd sit on this bike.

Did you ever get the restriction taken off?

what bike do you like more this or the mt07 ?

I used to have the fully faired version in the US, called the FZ6R. My bike had ~65hp and was an excellent bike to learn on. The year after I traded it in for an FZ8 to get just that little extra torque. The power on the fz6r was VERY linear (too linear). It went fine but there was never a surge of power; never much of a feeling. To me, the bike also sounds anemic (like it was lacking air). That's the main reason I sold it. The power-band was too linear. The fz8 is more entertaining for me. From idle to 6k is goes a little faster than the fz6r, but after 6k it screams (like 2 extra cylinders turned on). Another excellent bike. Very fun, and just as comfortable as the fz6r.

Where do you live? Where is that place!? Its gorgeous and perfect for a sweet riding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't you trade it in and add ABS?

is the XJ6 sold in the US? with fairings like the one you rode?

what consumption does it have ?

17:33 Road safety by MC-antagonist.

I wish there was anywhere in my state that I could get away with going 90+ mph down a road like that, but we have cops EVERYWHERE. I'd make it about a quarter-mile before I had an impromptu parade (complete with light show and complimentary helicopter) following me.

Potenza massima 57,0 kW (77,5CV) @ 10.000 giri/min

Great bike cant w8 to get it next month :D

You not ridden an R6 yet then Cager?

I want this bike so bad, to bad we don't have them in the states :(

Because of your review i bought an used one. I had 2 options in mind: the Honda CBF 600 and this one the XJ6, same price so i pick the Yamaha after seeing your vid. It was, until now, a great choice.

how tall are you?

Is this bike compatible for a2 liscense?

is that his mic or just wind noise?

On the liter bikes with too much power there is always the tendency to use that power at some point and it's never really safe. It's exciting now and then but for everyday riding the XJ6 is a great machine. What roads do we all ride the most on? Good point ab out ABS. Americans have not been buying ABS as much because it is more expensive and the economy is not so great to just buy whatever you want. So yeah the XJ is great for the riding many many of us do.

this or honda NC750S DCt auto transmission. AUTo transmission sounds too good . why bother with shifting? but damn honda lacks the design. looks crap.

Этот английский отдаёт нашим рязанским акцентом... Ласкает слух)

lol....how did the old motorcyclists survived without ABS brakes...eheheh

Explain to me why anyone would buy this bike when the FZ/MT-07 is available for less $$$? Also: -HP is about the same on both (5hp more on the MT-07, but that's negligible) -MT-07 has 14% more torque. -MT-07 weighs 15% less. -MT-07 even gets better fuel-economy. No-brainer.

i find my crotch on fire any time i stop :/ .... engine gets so bloody hot, fans always on ..

First?? lol

CBF 600 S is better choice in every aspect.
