Bad Points
Wears out very quickly

General Comments
The Yamaha XJ600 motorbike is an air-cooled four cylinder machine. The type that the Japanese are most famous for. Yamaha made it in various versions for years.



It is grey and white. It does not have a kick starter. It's also got a locking fuel tank, alloy wheels, helmet lock, indicators and rear seat foot pegs.



As for the weight; it's weighs less than 400lbs, so anyone can move it around traffic with ease. It could be pushed very easily by anybody if needed, and picked up should it fall over.



It's has a very pleasant feel about it, compared to some bikes - a CX500 is very poor in comparison. It is easy to drive, and it has a light easy gear change and plenty of power. It has a 4 stroke engine of 600cc, and it really moves when pushed. It does not use much petrol, and at 45mpg it is good. It will easily do 100mph. The motor is not even trying at 70 mph. It has a claimed 71hp @ 9000 revolutions per minute. Another point is the acceleration. It is fast and can hit 120mph. The seat is comfortable.



I used it for 3500 miles. However, the brake pads were worn to the metal, and the back tyre was slick and it was in need of a service.



It is a quality product, and its features are excellent for my needs. It is sound and robust, with good performance and good handling. I can recommend the extra feature of a rear top box and carrier.



It is good on motorways or long distance riding, and it does up to 120mph!
