I pulled my anorak on over my Belstaff and set off to do some serious train spotting. I was 44 years old, single and still lived at home (this bits not really true just a bit of drama to spice up the message) and Mum shouted from the front drive: 'Don't forget your spam sandwiches Rodney and you must put on your day glow jacket'. That was the ...  Read the complete review

I bought my XJ600N Diversion the week after I passed my Direct Access bike test so it was my first ‘proper’ bike. I wanted something powerful but sensible, that would be comfortable to do long distances on and could take luggage and/or a pillion without too much fuss. The Diversion came in as a winner of all these fronts AND as new ...  Read the complete review

JUST A COMMENT TO THE MEMBER WHO SAID IT WAS UNSTABLE ON CORNERS. I AT FIRST THOUGHT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BIKE HOWEVER AFTER FITTING NEW RECOMMENDED BRIDGESTONES AND USING CORRECT TYRE PRESSURE FOUND THAT THE BIKE NOW CORNERS VERY SMOOTHLY, FEELS VERY SAFE WHEN LEANING WELL OVER WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE PRIOR TO THE CHANGES. I AM NOT SAYING ...  Read the complete review

I bought a new Divvy 600 in 1995 as my first "proper" bike (something of a step up from the trusty RXS100 learnt on) and sold it to a good friend some 18,000 plus miles later to a very good (female) friend to move up to a YZF1000R ThunderAce (see review). I vivdly remember picking up the bike at 6pm from the dealer and the ...  Read the complete review

I've had my 1995 XJ600s Diversion for a little while now. I went for this model because the insurance is reasonable and its reliability. I bought it (without an MOT) for £1200 and is in good condition for its age. This is quite good value for this model, year & condition. Luckily, it passed its MOT first time despite my ...  Read the complete review

I have a M reg Xj600S, since April 2000 after selling a GS500E. My personal observations are:- Great for regular communiting and touring. I've been to S. Ireland as well as other great rides and the bike was excellent. Even in appalling weather, the bike never let me down. Compared to the GS500E, it doesn't corner as ...  Read the complete review
