Overview

New to the 2009 Yamaha model line up is the XJ6, a naked version of the new XJ6 Diversion. Powered by a 600 cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke inline 4-cylinder engine with all-new internals, this cool-looking middleweight delivers easy controllability together with strong all-round performance.
A newly designed easy-action clutch makes for smooth gear shifting, and the stylish 4-1 exhaust and compact midship muffler give this new 600 a seriously sporty image. The combination of a lightweight tubular diamond-type frame together with 41mm front forks and an efficient Monocross rear suspension system ensure agile handling performance in the city, through mountain passes and out on the highway.
A low seat height enhances overall controllability at low speeds – and ABS available as an option.
