I am taking the VFR for MOT next week, the guy mentioned I can have a loan bike.
I’m sure he said something like Verago (sorry spelling)

WTF is that? sounds like a posh biscuit.
Picture anyone??

Its a Yamaha Cruiser, could be anything from a 125cc learner custom to a 1100cc brute.

I saw a 535 the other day. I couldn't get over how quiet it was. I was very disappointed that the V-twin rumble was so heavily silenced. Sad

Ok, its not a Verago or whatever.

It’s a Diversion, this doesn’t sound good.

Divvy's aren't too bad, Gazdaman's got the 600 I believe. The only issue I found with sitting on one was that I didn't feel like I fitted properly, and I'm only 6'0.

But probably the 600, not 900.

Slow, crap handling, rusty. One of the few bikes that keith has ever sold - that says a lot really!

Hi

I had a Divvy for commuting. Handles OK (just don't expect VFR400 handling). Brakes OK. Goes OK. Power delivery is strange without that much go anywhere, but without feeling gutless. Nice enough bike on a motorway when you can just crank it up to 90 and sit there, but no fun on A roads.

All the best

Keith

Cheers Keith

Needed a quick review before I get on it and think it’s a decent bike and come off.
