Video: Yamaha XJ6 in Diversion

The price of the trimmed Yamaha XJ6 from the official Slovenian dealer Delta Team from Krško is 5.950 euros, and the Diversion model with armor is XNUMX more expensive. The former has already arrived in Slovenia, and the more tourist-oriented model with a revised name for the highly successful Yamaha will be delivered to the Alps in March many years ago.

First impressions? A big plus for a device that lost out to the "horses" (it has 80), but is friendlier and no longer needs to be raised to a height to wake up, which is considered a good option for twins with a leisurely cruise on winding roads. It sits well, the components are solid (not racing, but suitable for the price range and target group), only the gearbox for the first 220 kilometers that we drove around Sydney stood out negatively. But – prior to our test bikes, three groups of journalists had already crashed, which could be the reason for the inaccurate feel on the shift lever.

In anticipation of a warm spring and the opportunity to ride an XJ6 on Slovenske ceste, we have prepared a video for you. Season is coming soon!

We will write in detail and widely about the pair in the fifth issue of the magazine "Avtomagazin".
