Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer and intermediate riders thanks to its manageable power delivery and forgiving chassis.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile, do-it-all naked bike for commuting, weekend rides, and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA moderate 785mm seat height and 211kg wet weight make it accessible to most riders including shorter or less experienced ones.
CharacterA smooth, torquey inline-four with a linear power curve gives an easygoing yet lively riding experience.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking track-focused performance, aggressive sportbike ergonomics, or serious off-road capability.

2013 Yamaha XJ6 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 2013 Yamaha XJ6 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.
