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.

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.

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.

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!

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

This engine is tuned to the lower and middle ranges. From what I gathered the FZ6 (S1 and S2) is tuned to the middle and higher ranges. I can only safely speak about the XJ6 as I ride one, but when I was researching about it prior to owning it I came across this information while comparing it to the FZ6.
@shid0079 жыл бұрын
Pedro O. Well the old FZ6 was 72kW the newer S (FZ6 Fazer 2007+) was 57kW (quite like XJ6 now) and S2 remained 72kW... It's not only about the engine - the chassis construction is different too - xj6 is steel tube frame and fz6 is die cast alloy frame ... I guess, when the spring comes, I'll have to try them all (and many more :D) to see for myself :)

@Towert79 жыл бұрын
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.

Decided to Ride Considering the hassle it is to obtain an IP from Google, plus the amount of paperwork it takes to pry customer info from an ISP (I know this, believe me), plus, depending on how Portugal works for obtaining personal information, possibly a warrant, I sincerely doubt they'll go through that much trouble just to issue a speeding ticket. This is one of the reasons why most people blur or obscure their faces on their motovlogging channels if they do illegal activities, because it's a lot easier and quicker for them to just run facial recognition on a video that has been uploaded to the public. It's a time and cost vs payoff thing.

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.

When I was shopping for my XJ6 I confess I was in love for the MT-07, and coming from a naked bike (and loving naked bikes) it was the natural way to go. However the MT was way out of my pocket so I aimed towards the XJ6N. I found the Diversion in better all-round conditions so I bought it and man, it was the right decision. Totally different style and ride, but a lot more versatile and the same fun =) Looking back it was the right call
