Slightly rough engine running

DDC works well, but still rather on the "hard" side overall

seat relatively high

tempts to overdrive

design a matter of taste.

Yamaha XJ6 Diversion 2009

In addition to the half shell, the XJ6 Diversion also offers a main stand. Overall, it makes a solid impression. The colours suit it well and nothing stands in the way of longer tours. Riding comfort is naturally higher than on the XJ6 due to the wind protection. This is particularly noticeable at higher speeds.
