Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XJ6 2009

Despite the common basis, the XJ appears much younger and more aggressive. A mid-cass motorbike that by no means makes you feel mid-range. Except for the swingarm, the motorbike appears quite high-quality and cool. The bike is a little easier to handle than the Diversion.

Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2010

The Suzuki's top performer is clearly its engine; the V2 is wonderfully agile and powerful. This often makes up for the somewhat feminine appearance, which this racy engine does not really deserve.
