The Yamaha XJ6 Diversion produces 78 hp at 10,000 rpm, which translates to 57 kW of power.

ABS was an option on the naked yamaha diversion XJ6 but standard on the half and fully-faired Diversion models, but that was your only electronic assist.

This beginner-friendly nature has indeed carved a different sort of legacy for the XJ6 and made it a very popular as a starter bike if not as popular as the FZ or the MT series.

The 600cc machine offers 77bhp, 43mpg and a 200 mile tank range making it an affordable commuter that you can always depend on or the first steps on a 'big' bike for you.

The XJ6 Diversion differs from its XJ6 sibling by having a half fairing. After Honda proved there is a market for friendly middleweights with the CBF600, Yamaha has decided to do the same in the new XJ6 series.
