The 2010 Yamaha range gets updated with the arrival of the new XJ6 Diversion F model, completing the XJ6 and XJ6 Diversion family. It’s designed as an everyday, easy to ride sports road bike with contemporary design and functional style.

The full fairing gives a smooth, aerodynamic look and all-weather protection. The XJ6 Diversion F is equipped with a 600cc, four cylinder, liquid cooled engine for easy power and handling. The acceleration is responsive and with generous torque, it’s a nifty bike for the city, as well as being flexible enough for your weekend rides.

Technical details are after the jump, and Yamaha says:

With its blend of performance, great handling and classic looks, you’ll want to ride the XJ6 Diversion F every day. Its 600cc liquid-cooled 4-cylinder engine has been designed for great torque for exciting acceleration, while the powerful t-disc braking setup ensures secure stopping. An ABS version is available too - perfect for wet climates. With lightweight cast wheels, large 41 mm diameter front forks and Monocross rear suspension, the XJ6 Diversion F delivers great handling and secure road-holding.

Infomotori.com has come up this interesting idea for a new entry level naked motorcycle, the Cagiva Planet 501.

Created by designer Luca Bar who used the engine of a Husqvarna SM510R and the rest from a Cagiva Planet 125 to contain costs and thinks that it could sell for less than 6.000 euros.

Could this Cagiva stand up against a Suzuki Gladius or the Yamaha XJ6?
