For 2009 the Yamaha middleweight line-up is further strengthened with the arrival of the dynamic and agile new XJ6S.
This all-new 600 is one of the coolest and most desirable models in the important 600 category, and is powered by an inline 4-cylinder engine that is tuned to deliver responsive low to mid-range torque for fun, easy riding. With its strong flow of smooth handling power, this cool new 600 is a genuine all rounder, designed to make the rider feel equally at home in town, on twisty back roads and on the highway.
The lightweight, slim and compact new chassis features a low seat height, making the XJ6 an ideal machine for both new and experienced riders of all ages who want a stylish middleweight that can handle just about any situation. Designed to offer high levels of response, the easily controlled XJ6 is a bike that everyone will want to ride… an all level machine rather than entry level. And the contemporary design of the new chassis and bodywork underlines its position as a capable and attractive package.
Its newly-developed FZ6-based engine, combined with the compact, rider-friendly chassis design and agile handling ensure that this new 600 offers a truly special ride quality. Combined with its high levels of riding enjoyment and outstanding overall performance, the new XJ6 looks set to establish itself as a real favourite with a wide range of new owners in 2009 and beyond.
