- My friend let me take out this XJ6 for a spin, have to say its a super smooth engine, although I don't know if that's because its so quiet compared to my bike. Really liked it though, go check out his insta if you want to see more pics of the bike:

Also apologies again for audio problems, I've got them sorted now, this was filmed same time as the last video :/
Peace!

That smoothness is from the inline 4 cylinder engine as opposed to most other middle weight bikes that use parallel twins. 2 cylinder engines have to have a longer stroke to get 600 ccs, which means more piston travel, more vibration. Spread out that stroke to 4 cylinders, you get half the piston travel, smoother revving, power delivery, and less stress on the engine at high RPMs. That's why these bikes are so reliable too, engine wise.
thx for the info
This has been the deal breaker for me definitely getting this bike after I pass my A2 thanks man
What have you been smoking to arrive at that summary 🤔😂
Smoothness is due to more power pulses per rotation, not due to bore or stroke size.
I bought myself an xj6 today, can't wait to get it out on the road, Nice video too, your a good rider :D
+ferrariairwolf Thanks man, and yeah I love that bike
i bought one to got my lisence 2 days ago cant wait to go riding
@@wouterberg47 I am getting my Xj6 special edition on Saturday 😆 can't wait....
might buy one of these that was so nice overtaking lol. shop next to mine got one second hand
Just got one of these on Monday! Absolutely love it
Nice, been thinking of getting a xj6 diversion with abs as my first bike (been driving an mt07 and a 750 hornet with my driving school but they pricey). Just one thing that makes me a little bit iffy, do you get used to not seeing what gear you're in?
@@valizeth4073 I have been riding for last 20 years nearly (On/off) and I have never seen what gear am in. You just get used to it.
If you are really pedantic about it, you can buy that gear indicator and stick it near the gauges.
Epic dude, enjoy it!
I trained on one of these with camrider. The gearbox was an absolute dog, a box of nails.
bolt missing
Just got one such an underrated bike looks just like the mt09
Nice vid :D seems like a great bike, I've just bought a GSR 600 for my A2 license and i'm LOVING IT!!
Just wondering where is it you are riding in this video? Seems like a nice area to ride at.
+DyNaMiiCxTriiKzz Peak District, ladybower resevoir
It's missing a bolt on the handlebar clamps mate
missing a handlebar bolt there. Thanks for the vid tho! :)
Haha yeahh not sure what was happening there
Mano essa XJ6 parece um ventilador perto das XJ6 4x1 do Brasil
What type of handle bars are they? does it have risers?
Think it's a renthal bar, not sure of the details tho, wasn't my bike
Anybody know what handlebars are fitted to the bike? I think they're renthal ultra lows
Yeahh I think that's right tbh
man man MAAN man MAN MNAAAM man man mana mnaam man man manaaam man MAN
it does look nice though
Where is this filmed?!!! ps - slip ons for XJ6 do nothing as exhaust silencer and cat in the box. Hence why it was so quiet the until very high revs. I bought a second hand set from the headers to drill a hole though as per the exhaust mod...
Filmed in the peak District, yeah my friend got a proper system fitted after this video
Hi, Can you tell me the order number or type or any info on the blue Renthal handlebars, Thanks

Nice one...I was looking to get one myself...
Shiver 750 or XJ6. Which one is better?
Hmm, not ridden the shiver, but this xj6 is a really nice forgiving bike :)
Riding a bike with leathers and a t Shirt!
Hi :) where do you have your camera?
+Marek Vyplašil Chin mount
Currently in the situation of either buying FZ6 or the XJ6 as a first big bike. If you were doing it again - would you still pick the FZ6?
Sorry didn't see this comment. I would've got the xj6 even the first time round, just couldn't afford it. So yep definitely xj6 for me 😊
@@DanTheTwoWheeler how much in your country?
@Too Legit To Quit that's dirt cheap.
fz6, more power
Hi Dan, where was the start and finish location? Looks like a place to visit and see some bikes.
+JimmyJagg Lady bower reservoir, peak district.
Thanks Dan. I'm surprised that I didn't recognise it. I used used to regularly ride the peak on my Kawaski Z1 and Bonnie in the ...... ahmm 70's
JimmyJagg it did look familiar. I went to derwent dam in the Peak District a few years back and there were great roads and views. Went on the car with the family tho 😣
Xjtao representa sempre mlk,like men
Como sempre um Br nós comentários
was this one restricted to 35kw?
I’m about to import one from germany this weekend and I not even 20 yet 😂 at least i’ll have a nice bike waiting for when I get my license
Yeah it was restricted
DanTheTwoWheeler bought one 🥰
DanTheTwoWheeler which handlebars are those???
I passed my test on one of these it was a dream to ride
Yeahh really nice starter bike!
Going off subject, can anyone tell me what the CO adjustment does on (adjusted via the clocks) and is more better ?
You can set it from 10 and see if there is any popping from exhaust. It's better to do that on dyno if you fit in aftermarket exhaust for accurate result. Next, do throttle body sync as well
Speedo shows in km/h?
Mph
What's up with the missing handlebar clamp bolt and hose clamps? lol
+Bikers Quest haha don't even ask 😅
Hahah @biker Quest , It snapped as I over tightened the bolt and wanted to ride the following day, so whilst i ordered the new clamp... I decided to use the hose clamps - worked perfectly fine!! 🤣 not that i would do it again haha
Hello, Iam from India. Iam a big fan of this motorcycle, and it's a dream to own this. Unfortunately this is not available in my country. Is there any way to get my hands on that??
Hmm not sure tbh, if it's not available the only way would be to import it, which sounds like it'd be quite costly, sorry 😕
Does it have ABS?
This model doesn't 😕
Hi mate. What trousers are you wearing??
Btw this video helped me buy a xj6 for my first bike so thanks 👍
Haha no way, that's pretty cool hope you're enjoying it. And I wear the RST textile trousers
Where was this filmed mate? Looks like a great spot
Derwent Valley, Peak District
@@DanTheTwoWheeler cheers
A friend of my dad gave me an offer on this one for 4k and an mt07 for 6k and when I'm uppgrading from an 125cc and I can't decide which one I want to get
I would go for the xj6. Depends on year and mileage for both.
@@Graszhoppa Not sure of the milage, but the xj6 is 2014 and the mt07 is 2017.
look at the stats for that and compare it with what you have. The fz6 wins all day long.
Is this A2 restricted?
Yeahh the XJ6 can be restricted down for an A2 licence. This particular one I was riding was restricted
why xj6 powerful than hornet 600
Why not :D
i asking why on the left...why? Ale from italy man. i joking
I have drove this bike for 10 hours now ( still in training ) and i already pushed this bike to it's limits. It feels pretty slow and even full throttle it doesn't power wheelie.
wat voor andere motors heb je gereden? heb net mijn eerste les gehad op een XJ6
So it does not power wheelie. Big deal.
I have a fz6r in USA, and its the same bike, just with fairing and not restricted! I can power wheelie mine all day. It might not power wheelie because of the throttle restriction. The throttle stop can be removed and with a full exhaust and tune, the bike will come to life!
It is what it is. If you're not happy go bigger or buy a trailie. Simples.
Wonder if its smooth?....🤔😆
😅
Shame they’re so underpowered
Aha another A2 bike to consider....ffs
Lol, this is defo a good contender 😊

Olha o Br aí
fish eye lense never gives a good impression
Cyclists pedestrians, side roads car parks and shadows with poor visibility..not the place to to ride hard..but a t least u will die laughing
This is stupidity ...the speed and aggressive riding on these road conditions your asking to be killed ...one small error from another road user don't have to be you. Only cool for Novices who feel they got a new toy
