I have had a few XJ600' and Diversion 600's, and one 900, all bought cheap to commute on.
Realised how bland and totally "white goods" they were, so just bought them to punt on, and not ride for more that a couple of days to check they were OK .
All cleaned up well though, and everyone sold for a profit, but that is London commuters for you.
Two wheels good.

Re: Two wheels good.
Wasn't the diversion engine the same as the earlier FZ600? I liked my one of those.

Been a bit of a BMW invasion here.
Off to Morocco at 6am tomorrow but the booze has already started to flow. God help me.

Re: Two wheels good.
No they drove down from Poland and Czechia.
But they will probably break down, as they aren't riding Hondas.

Immobilizer activated or stator or pulse coil failed? A multimeter should give you an idea.NigelBickle wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 3:08 pm Envious, looks like too much potential fun there
