So I've finally done it. After far too much time on the interweb researching, I went to see a Honda CBF600 and came away with a Yamaha XJ6 Diversion. It's brilliant. Totally different to the old GPZ. It feels so much more planted on the road, the engine is so smooth and so much more power. I will miss the old bike, it taught me the basics and helped me develop my confidence especially on the motorways. But it was having problems, the indicators were temperamental, the brakes weren't great, starter motor was on it's way out and there was no fuel gauge or clock. The XJ6 feels like a Rolls Royce at the moment, I'm sure I'll get used to it but at the moment it's fabulous. Pics to follow, when it's had a polish.
