Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
Yamaha XJ6 2009

Apesar da base comum, a XJ parece muito mais jovem e agressiva. Uma mota de classe média que de forma alguma nos faz sentir de gama média. Exceptuando o braço oscilante, a moto parece ser de alta qualidade e muito fixe. A moto é um pouco mais fácil de manusear do que a Diversion.

A 'R' pega onde a Duke standard pára, ou atinge os seus limites. Na estrada, a diferença só será percetível num duelo em casa, mas na pista de corridas torna-se particularmente clara. Os factores decisivos aqui são os travões, o chassis ajustável e a folga do ângulo de inclinação. O assento 30 mm mais alto coloca-o automaticamente numa posição de corrida de roda dianteira, dá-lhe mais feedback do chassis e coloca mais pressão nos travões. O 'R' já tem tudo a bordo que só se obtém com a versão standard através do Track Pack - e ainda mais. Nomeadamente, a suspensão fina e o escape Akrapovic. Em contrapartida, é necessário fazer pequenas concessões em termos de conforto na utilização quotidiana.
