Yamaha XJ6 Diversion:

2010 Yamaha sports models and maxi scooter announced

This week, Yamaha announced four 2010 sports models and a maxi scooter, all which feature revised ECUs and new color schemes.

First and foremost, the 2010 Yamaha YZF-R6 gets a new, longer exhaust, remapping of the ECU and these attractive new color schemes. The middleweight supersport model is now claimed to benefit of slightly more low-end torque and have a healthier mid-range pull. Nice and discrete move with this one!

Those lucky Europeans get a redesigned 2010 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F in blue and black. ABS is added as an option.

The naked 2010 Yamaha FZ1 and the Fazer are now set for more low- and mid-range power delivery and both come in two-tone paintjobs.

Last, but definitely not least, the 2010 Yamaha TMax is now an even more stylish solution for urban commuters as it comes in white, with a two-tone seat and titanium-polished wheels.

Expect to read more about these Yamaha models on this page in the near future.

2009 Yamaha XJ6 Naked Official Video

Yamaha Motor Europe presents through a pretty fun and entertaining promotional video one of the motorcycles with which they plan to dominate the naked category in 2009, the XJ6 Naked. The bike does indeed look sharp and it is also a great alternative to the Kawasaki ER-6n.

2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion gets Presentation Video

Yamaha Motor Europe had the inspired idea of creating a video which takes prospects through Diversion’s technical features, familiarizing them with the bike and making it easier to make a decision.

Recently launched, the clip is supposed to increase sells so the bike is presented as an all-new one even though it is derived from the FZ6, Fazer in Europe.

The revised inline-four now manages a decent 59,7 Nm @ 8,500 rpm and 78 Hp @ 10,000 rpm considering the bike’s 216 kilos and the versatile character.

Here you have it:

2009 Yamaha XJ6 Diversion

Yamaha thought that its 2009 European lineup needs an adequate entry-level bike, something like the recently launched FZ6R, but a little more scenic. The solution came by reviving an old sport-touring bike, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion which is also the name of the 2009 bike now ready to hit the streets of Europe.
