Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, approachable machine well suited to newer riders progressing from smaller bikes as well as experienced riders wanting a stress-free everyday motorcycle.
PurposeIt's designed primarily as a versatile naked commuter and all-rounder, equally happy weaving through city traffic or handling a weekend backroad ride.
Rider FitThe 785mm seat height and 216kg wet weight make it manageable for most rider heights and builds, with a neutral upright seating position that eases strain on wrists and back.
CharacterThe in-line four delivers smooth, linear power delivery with a revvy, eager feel rather than outright brute force, rewarding a spirited but not aggressive riding style.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not well suited to riders seeking serious off-road capability, track-day lap times, or long-haul touring comfort with heavy luggage and a passenger.

2010 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion ABS 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 2010 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion ABS, 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.
