The Yamaha XJ600, produced from 1984 to 1992, embodies the spirit of the classic Japanese sport-touring motorcycle. This motorcycle, often referred to as the "XJ600 Diversion" or "XJ600S Diversion" after its 1989 redesign, offered a balance of performance and practicality that appealed to a wide range of riders. Power was provided by a smooth and reliable air-cooled, 599cc, four-stroke, 4-valve, inline-four engine known for its torque and linear power delivery. It generated a respectable 60 horsepower, making it capable of highway cruising and spirited riding while still being manageable for new riders. The XJ600 featured a comfortable riding position with a low seat height, making it accessible even for shorter riders. The bike's forgiving handling characteristics and forgiving nature made it a good choice for both commuting and weekend adventures. The XJ600S Diversion, introduced in 1989, marked a significant update with a more modern and aerodynamic fairing, revised suspension, and a redesigned headlight. These changes enhanced the bike's aesthetic appeal and wind protection, further solidifying its position as a versatile and stylish sport-touring machine. The XJ600 series was highly praised for its reliability, durability, and relatively low maintenance requirements. It was a popular choice for both experienced and new riders seeking a blend of performance, practicality, and affordability. The XJ600's lasting legacy as a capable and user-friendly motorcycle makes it a sought-after classic for enthusiasts looking to experience the spirit of classic sport-touring.
