I'm considering the re-cond model. Done some picture searching and these 2 bikes look exactly similar. The Diversion F is sold brand new with warranty locally. Would like to get some feedback from you guys as to which is better and why.

Thanks in advance.

FZ6R = 2011 model.

Don't quite like the Kawa because it is too common and I think the older versions had issues. Not sure about the newer ones though.

They're around the same price but the re-cond is close to 10k cheaper. Close to 10k less lah.

AFAIK, the engine of the Diversion and FZ are inline 4.

Ok, I got the FZ6R. Just informing you guys.

Yup, you're right I think. The 2 cylinder bikes have their torque (theoretically) coming in at lower rpm so that they are more flexible in the city and their light weight and slimmer profile makes it easier to squeeze in between cars too. The inline 4 has torque too but again theoretically, comes in at a slightly higher rpm so it works better as a long distance or highway bike. But essentially, it all boils down to who has the bigger balls only.

Is that the only difference? My bike was brought in from Texas, US so I know it does not have the power sapping anti pollution devices. But I can't find power/rpm and torque/rpm for the FZ6R. As for the XJ6 Diversion F, the info can be easily found.

Appreciate if anyone can provide the info on power and torque or are the two bikes 100% identical? I have also heard that in some places, these bikes can be de-tuned so as to qualify for lower insurance (classified as beginner bikes). Any idea how to check that?

Thanks. Appreciate your reply.

I managed to change the speedometer from mph to kph but is there a way to change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celcius?
