Grommet Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Maybe a review? Having had a Bandit 02 from new I put up with the weight and have had plenty of enjoyment from it over the years and a rejet brought it alive. A friend has left me a 2009 xj6 which Wouldn't have been drawn to for looks to keep hold of while away working. I'm really surprised it's light, better seat and feet flat on floor,well geared for traffic and a reasonable turn of speed. So from a general distain at the styling, I think if it was mine-a tail tidy a must as the rear mudguard is dreadful. Out of curiosity the parts are reasonable second hand and for city traffic I would choose this over a bandit after 60 odd miles on each over the weekend enjoyed both in different ways. Don't knock it until you try it 4 Quote
Pie man Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Yamaha have it sussed when it comes to great little budget bikes, which is what the XJ6 was in its day and it ticked all the boxes. Just like the little MT07 now. Quote
