Yamaha Diversion

It's a 1992 Yamaha XJ600 Diversion !

The Yamaha XJ600 Diversion is a Vauxhall Astra diesel amongst motorcycles… with all the worthiness (and dreariness) that implies. Designed from the outset to be soft, cheap, versatile, simple and novice-friendly, the curiously-named Yamaha XJ600 Diversion is pleasant, predictable and a useful hack. But note the complete absence of the words ‘desire’, ‘excitement’, ‘performance’ or ‘thrills’.

This one is in nice condition, starts on the button, rides just fine and it's got 31k miles on the clock! The 'Divvy', as the Diversion became known, is a reliable and capable workhorse.

The Yamaha XJ600 Diversion is softer than a marshmallow in a swimming pool. But then, that’s the way it was meant to be. Purpose-designed aircooled four is mechanically bullet and idiot proof and pretty much the same to use. Don’t go hunting for power bands – there aren’t any.

But the Yamaha XJ600 Diversion purrs around without a glitch quite happily and lasts forever. Looks a bit like an old classic Honda engine thanks to its sweeping downpipes and extensive cooling fins, too…

Inline 600s are a rare beast these days with most manufacturers choosing economical parallel-twin configurations in their middleweights instead so there's a certain retro charm to the Yam.
