Well, let me tell you about this xj 600 thing. You know, back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy machines. But this one, it’s somethin’ else. They say it’s a motorcycle, a Yamaha, whatever that means.

This xj 600, it’s got an engine, a big one. 598cc, four-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, they say. I don’t know what all that means, but it sounds powerful. Four Mikuni carburetors, too. Sounds like a whole lotta somethin’ going on under that seat. They say it puts out 62 hp. Horsepower, that’s what they call it. Like how many horses it’s equal to, I reckon. And it’s got a peak force at 8,500 rpm, and 54 Nm torque. Don’t ask me what that is. Just a lot of numbers, I guess.
Yamaha XJ 600 Engine
It’s got six gears, this xj 600. A six-speed manual transmission, they call it. With a wet multi-disc clutch and a final chain drive. Sounds complicated. All I know is it goes fast. How fast? Well, they say it can go up to 205 kph, or 127 mph. That’s faster than anything we had back in the day, I can tell you that much!
- Air-cooled engine
- Four-cylinder, four-stroke
- 60 bhp, they say
- Top speed of 117 mph, or maybe more
Yamaha XJ 600 Speed
They say it can go about 117 mph, this Yamaha XJ600 Diversion. That’s what they call it, a Diversion. Sounds like it could take you on a real adventure. And this horsepower thing, about 61 bhp. Whatever that means, it sounds like a lot. And the weight, well, they say it’s heavy. But not too heavy, I suppose.
Back in 1984, they say it was faster than any other 550 on the road. Imagine that! This Yamaha xj 600, it’s been around for a while, it seems. They started making it in 1984, or so they tell me. And they kept making it for years. This particular one is from 1991.
And this one, from 1990, they say it’s got a sport bike look. And an 849 cc engine, whatever that is. Big, I guess. They say it can go up to 159 mph, or was it 117? Well, you need to know that it’s fast. Real fast. A V-twin engine, 849 cc. Sounds fancy, don’t it? And pictures, they got pictures of it, too. All shiny and new-looking.

Yamaha XJ 600 Top Speed
This Yamaha XJ 600 top speed is 205 km/h, that’s 127 mph. And it weighs 212 kg, that’s 467.4 lbs. Sounds heavy, don’t it? And it’s got four cylinders. DOHC, they say. Don’t know what that is, but it sounds important. This Yamaha XJ 600, it has 6 gears. And it gets 55 to 60 mpg. That’s good, I guess. Saves you money on gas, maybe.
This thing, this xj 600, it’s a real machine. Fast, powerful, and a whole lot of numbers I don’t understand. But it sure sounds impressive, don’t it? If you’re into these kinds of things, this motorcycle might be just what you’re looking for. It’s got a lot of history, that’s for sure. And it’s still going strong, or so they say. That’s about all I know about this Yamaha XJ 600.
