The Cool New Middleweight


Yamaha`s 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.

FEATURES

♦   Cutting edge fuel injection system with computer-controlled sub-throttle valves provides precise fuel/air mixture for superb power delivery across the entire rev range.

♦   Closed-deck cylinder block provides great strength while allowing a narrow engine in spite of big, 77mm bores.

♦   Narrow-angle five-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 11.5:1 compression ratio, while big valves and highlift cams flow plenty of air.

♦   Carburised connecting rods with fracture split big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.

♦   High silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder sleeves ensure great heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.

♦   Light, R1-spec five-spoke wheels and fat radial tyres, including a 190/50-ZR17 rear, complete the look and serve up the traction.
