Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have moved past entry-level bikes and want a punchy inline-four that rewards higher revs, given the peak power arrives at 10000 RPM.
PurposeA versatile sport tourer that balances weekday commuting with weekend backroad runs and light touring duty.
Rider FitThe 785mm seat height and 211kg wet weight are manageable for most average-height riders, though shorter riders may want to check reach at a standstill.
CharacterA high-revving, free-breathing 600cc four that feels eager and precise rather than brutal, with a chassis tuned for confident, stable cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for off-road riders or anyone seeking low-end torque grunt for lazy, low-rev riding.

2014 Yamaha Diversion Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Yamaha Diversion, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
