Overview
The Yamaha XJ 6 SP is a naked motorcycle produced from 2013 to 2015. The 2015 model has a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 600 cm³ four-stroke inline-four producing 77 hp (58 kW) and 59.7 Nm of torque at 8,000 RPM; its wet weight is 205 kg.
The 785 mm seat height gives the bike a relatively low perch that can make stopping and putting a foot down easier. At 205 kg, it takes more effort to maneuver at walking speed than a lighter motorcycle, while the torque peak at 8,000 RPM means its strongest pull arrives higher in the rev range.
