How big is your number plate ? lol. You may just need to put some new holes in it to bring it up the bracket a bit more. Or go and get a slightly smaller one made up.

I had an XJ6S (half faired version but mechanically the same bike) for over a year. The XJ6 will handle realistically everything you throw at it, is not supersport but has a fair amount of get go, comfortable for the pillion, comfortable to ride, the underbody exhaust is fairly quiet but the plus is no damage if you drop it or fear from the pillion from burning.

Quite a solid bike, suspension can be a little bland when pushing it hard-ish (not a racer here) but for the budget I think you get a lot of bike for the money. Direct competitors the Kawi ER6, different engine, similar power, more vibes than the XJ6.

For commuting I think is an excellent bike, fairly narrow, easily flickable through traffic.

I purchased my XJ6n march 2011, and have done a few alterations.

  • Had Belly Pan Sprayed same as Tank,
  • Tail Tidy Fitted,
  • Wheel Hugger,
  • White Reflective Wheel Tapes,
  • Leo Vince Slip on Exhaust,
  • K and N Air filter,

Its a real nice bike and now sounds bloody great,The Air Filter helps improve acceleration,sorry I havent got any other pictures on here other than profile picture.

I know this was way back in september , can't believe I have not been on forum since then.

In the end I fitted the Evotech tail tidy .

Highly recommended , bit of dismantling of bike required to remove original parts but that will be required whatever tail tidy you buy . I work in the motor trade but I consider it a easy DIY job to fit the Evotech tail tidy.

It was a reasonable price and good quality parts , looks good fitted .
