Rider Profile

Best ForA friendly, forgiving middleweight that suits newer riders progressing beyond a beginner bike as well as experienced riders wanting a low-stress machine.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile all-round naked-turned-faired commuter and light tourer rather than a track or performance weapon.
Rider FitThe 785mm seat height and 215kg wet weight make it manageable for most rider heights and builds, with light, approachable ergonomics.
CharacterA smooth-revving inline-four with a peaky top-end feel, wrapped in practical, easygoing all-rounder styling with a small protective fairing.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability, aggressive sportbike performance, or long-distance touring comfort with a passenger and luggage.

2015 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F 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 2015 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F, 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.
