Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have been a pillion on a k-reg Yamaha Diverson 400.It was shocking. The exhausts looked stupid, it sounded terrible, the pillion seat made my ass numb and the only reason you could tell there was full throttle was the noise not the speed..lolI will however say yes because this looks like a significant improvement.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techno Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Think its about 76 bhp Its a detuned fz6 which in turn is a detuned r6 motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Think its about 76 bhp Its a detuned fz6 which in turn is a detuned r6 motor! Lol yeh thats helpful. Is it a 1000cc or something? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Think its about 76 bhp Its a detuned fz6 which in turn is a detuned r6 motor! Lol yeh thats helpful. Is it a 1000cc or something? lol fz6 is a 600cc I believe. Will be a bit laking on power as far as bikes go really. Shame, as looks wise, it's not too shabby to me. A twice detuned engine. I think Honda do the same... CBR600 engine is detuned for the hornet, then detuned again for the CBF600... In fact I think the CBF600 has roughly the same power output as this bike.

techno Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yes its a 600 It is a direct competitor I would say to the cbf600..which hopefully it will be better than.cos the cbf while a competent commuter is having had one for a couple of months....very bland!

pumilio Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I think it looks awesome. Yamaha make nice looking bikes...If done right it will be less revvy and have more torque for lower speed, round town use than the fazer. For many riders depending on their intended use I reckon this would be a better first bike or commuter (again, if done right), which would also be a competent all-rounder. If you want a sports bike, you wouldn't be considering this bike anyhow.On the other hand... Yamaha playing catch-up with Suzuki again (gsx650f)...
