The Yamaha XJ6 was the naked version of the half-faired XJ6 Diversion. Aside from the lack of fairing, it had exactly the same spec, but somehow losing the plastics transformed the Yamaha from sensible budget middleweight to exciting mini streetfighter.
With its ‘baby Yamaha FZ-1’ looks and sit-up-and-beg riding position the XJ6 was a very cheap way to get your rocks off. On top of all the fun it could dish out, it’s also easy to get on with, comfy and well-built too.
To all intents and purposes the XJ6 was a cheaper, softer, less powerful version of the Yamaha FZ6 of its day, yet it somehow managed to be better in every way. While the FZ6’s styling was a bit bulky and conservative, the XJ6’s cool, urban streetfighter looks and snazzy underslung exhaust made it seem far more special than its price would suggest.
