  • Also known (in the us) as the Yamaha FZ6R.
    I review the 2013 Yamaha XJ6 FA Diversion.
    I loved it! What a machine!
    BTW, topspeed is 202kph. (I tested it, on a closed track obviously).
    AGAIN, had to break it down into two parts....

    Nice review. I just bought a XJ6 F Diversion from 2010 as my first bike. Looking forward to riding it.

    There are tons of fz6r reviews but none as deep as this one. I have owned this bike non-abs version 2013 for a few years and ridden it 25k miles and every bit you say about this bike is true. It is a powerful beast that also serves as my daily ride in the USA. Great work with the review!

    Love your reviews. They cover everything you realistically need to know about the bike and are fun to watch :D
    I'm sick of "reviews" where the guy just talks about his bike mods for 15 mins and doesn't say anything useful about the bike..

    Hey man, great review.
    Last year I chose the cb600f -12 but man was it hard to pick the right bike.
    It was between Hornet, xj6, er6, z750, gsf650, fz6 and street triple (r)
    Well thanks again for another great review. Ride safe buddy

    When you're looking at the brake at 2:40 and wondering where the ABS ring is, it's probably behind the blue cover between the disc and the fork. There's a wire running to that cover, which looks to be the sensor.

    I've been riding a CBR 250 for the last 12 months. It's quite adequate for urban riding, but gutless once you're on the highway.. Diversion F looks like the perfect upgrade with its silky 4cyl 600cc engine and a full fairing unlike the MT-07. The MT is the bike with more fun, but I'm 38 with two kids, I need some comfort :p

    "Fun bike for some commuting" - I agree :) .
    "Speed, Power! Braaaakes!" - LOL
    This is my bike and your review reports the same feelings I have for this bike. It's my first bike and I love it. I don't see myself riding riding another one. The gearbox is a little clunky but I can live with that.
    Now... off to see part two :) ...

    @camel201090 10 років тому

    Awesome man ! Love all your videos ! I'm a complete newbie and i'm stuck between this and CB500F. I guess since you're insisting many times about xj6 isn't really suitable for a complete newbie i'm better off with CB500F then.

    Still handy to do maintenance though :)

  • @ripmax333

    good point for the center stand! why Honda didn't made center stands standards on what they call commuters!!? the cb500 series and NC series.

    I was totally sold out on this bike until you mentioned engine heating. Is it that bad to affect a potential buyers judgment?

  • @d4rmsc

    Hey, around 5:35 mins you mention you can actually remove a part of the license tail to make a tail tidy without having to buy on, has anyone actually done this?

  • @zerouzer

    Hi. I am interested in this motorcycle but it is only available as non-ABS locally. Would you say ABS is definitely required with this motorcycle? Thank you.

    Hey Cager, I bought a 2013 FZ6R a couple of weeks ago. It's my first bike and I'm taking it slow... as hard as that sounds. Mountain roads here in New Mexico are unbelievably beautiful and I can't wait for Spring when I can go out daily and just live on those twisties. Just curious though, could you direct me to any vids or how-to's for that fender elim DIY you mentioned at around the 5:30 mark? BTW, US models don't have a center stand :(

  • @jorgemtds

    Faço 4,5l/100Km. A NC700 faz quanto?

  • @m4rtin5
    @m4rtin5 11 років тому

    O sensor do ABS é aquela peça preta que tem um cabo a subir pela suspensão frontal, do lado direito, conjuntamente com o tudo dos travões. A "rodinha perfurada" que faz com que o sensor saiba a velocidade da mota está no centro do disco de travão, escondido atrás da zona pintada de roxo ;)
    A mota é fantástica, também tenho uma :) Mas como gosto de pouca roupa escolhi a naked ;)

  • @TheCheaterguppi
    @TheCheaterguppi 10 років тому

    Hey Cager, do you think the bike is suitable for beginners if it just has 48 ps,
    I want to start soon and the bike just looks AWESOME. 48 ps because of european license.

  • @nunoribeiro9419
    @nunoribeiro9419 11 років тому

    Cager, it's strange that your NC doesn't have center stand. My PCX have it. My father's VFR800 VTEC also, my brother's VFR800 FI also have it... I don't get this options from Honda!

    Hey Cager how did you get the FZ6R in that paint scheme with the blue rims? I haven't been able to find it anywhere in that setup.

  • @HoosierThrottle
    @HoosierThrottle 11 років тому +1

    My son learned on a FZ6R and he didn't have any problems. It's more the rider than the bike, some people can't handle a 250.

    This is the bike I want for when I pass my Mod 2 :). Perfect for the A2 license! Looks so sexy in white.

    • @ripmax333
      @ripmax333 10 років тому

      perfect for A2? is there a De-tuned version of this bike?

    • @bradio
      @bradio 10 років тому

      ripmax333 You can get it restricted to 45bhp as it's not over 90bhp in total. So it just fits the requirements.

    I had one of these some years ago. It was the best G D bike I ever owned. Economical, comfortable, easy to ride, but (relatively) fast, sweet to look at, and was happy doing absolutely whatever the f*** you wanted. AND it had a centre stand. I only sold it because I needed the money. Would have one again in a heartbeat. Really STUPID of Yamaha to stop making these in my opinion. Superb bike.

      Bike is too top heavy and too powerful for a beginner IMO. And it doesn’t have ABS on US models which should definitely be a deal breaker for noobs. Beginners should ride 250 to 300cc bikes and spend their first year developing their skills and researching their next bike.
