PurposeA versatile allround middleweight designed for daily commuting, light touring, and enjoyable weekend rides rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe moderate 785mm seat height and 211kg curb weight make it accessible to most rider heights and builds without being too light or twitchy.
CharacterA friendly, balanced in-line four that offers smooth power delivery and predictable, confidence-inspiring handling.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp sportbike performance, serious off-road capability, or long-distance touring comfort with heavy luggage.

2016 Yamaha Diversion F 600 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 2016 Yamaha Diversion F 600, 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.
