Anyone know what they're like? I'm trying to get a feel for what bike to get next and when I search biketrader, there seems to be alot of these in my price range, and to me they look quite nice. I imagine they are less to insure than a CBR.

Hmm.. negative comments...
Well unfortunately I am quite restricted by cost and I don't want to pay loads for insurance.
I thought the half faired ones looked quite nice to be honest. I'm not really that bothered about getting the sexiest bike possible, I've got years ahead of me to buy a bike that I really want apposed to what I can afford.
Anyway it was only a thought because there were lots of decently priced ones around. ____________________ About me|@Major_Grooves|My company|Digg|Flickr |

Yeah, there are. that and the insurance is what makes them even more tempting.
Also with such a big engine surely there must be a way of getting loads more power out of it...if you're that way inclined anyway
I like the look of it, although I'd prob get some lower fairing for it, if only to help stop the winter corrosion. |

Hi
The old XJ600 seemed to be even more badly made than the Diversion. The Diversion shouldnt be too bad, but it isnt really sporty.
I know someone with one who has had loads of problems. Well, really just the same problem loads of times. Every so often it just dies and will not start again for a random number of minutes / hours / days. It has spent ages in the dealers
All the best

I had my CB500 up to Aberdeen and back no hassle. And that's a looooong way.
Yes, being unfaired sucked, so I bought a fairing Problem solved. |

Naa, but i stopped in...oh bugger, what's it called again...
i would look it up but i can't be arsed.
the kinda trangular shaped town with the double mini roundabouts and the 1 way road running alongside with lil shops along it.
anyway, i stopped for a piss there
thing is, i was keeping it at about 40 cos i didn't wanna knacker the new engine, but i was brave and had it upto 50 at one point. how young was i, it was so exhilerating at the time! lol |
