yamyam thank you maam Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 i bought an xj600 diversion and after reading the reviews i found it to be a fairly fast comfortable user friendly bike so why do people slag them off so much i know it doesnt perform like an r1 type of bike but its good for someone on a budget like me and apart from slightly lacking the gut wrenching accelaration like some others i find it hard to pick any faults with it so whats the beef why do people seem to hate them ?? do you!!

XTreme Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The Divvy was a decent allround bike....but when the Bandit came out in 1995 it blew it away in all areas and was actually cheaper than the Divvy too. You won't find many of them around for that reason, and the ones that are left are usually hacks because they never inspired pride of ownership and were just used as workhorses. Like I say, not a bad bike, but was so outdated and oldtech even when it was first introduced it never generated much interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
