2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion - Overview

Virtually every feature on this attractive new 600 has been designed to ensure that the new XJ6 Diversion delivers all of the style, fun and ease of use that today’s middleweight rider is looking for. Its newly-developed 600 cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke inline 4-cylinder engine has been designed to deliver a smooth band of easy-to-handle power, making the XJ6 Diversion an ideal machine for new and experienced riders.


The new tubular frame is designed to deliver easy handling, and its clean lines emphasize the bike’s slim appearance.
