Re: Two wheels good.
I have had a few XJ600' and Diversion 600's, and one 900, all bought cheap to commute on.
Realised how bland and totally "white goods" they were, so just bought them to punt on, and not ride for more that a couple of days to check they were OK .
All cleaned up well though, and everyone sold for a profit, but that is London commuters for you.

Re: Two wheels good.
Wasn't the diversion engine the same as the earlier FZ600? I liked my one of those.

Been a bit of a BMW invasion here.
Off to Morocco at 6am tomorrow but the booze has already started to flow. God help me.

Re: Two wheels good.
No they drove down from Poland and Czechia.
But they will probably break down, as they aren't riding Hondas.

Re: Two wheels good.
Envious, looks like too much potential fun there
I picked up a dead Piaggio x9 500 today. Looks like many have tried to get it running, none have succeeded. Cranks over evenly,mrildno spark. Hmm.
Anyone here knows these, sufficiently to point out any weakness’ pls?

Re: Two wheels good.
I thought as much (hence the )
Don't see the point in that. Ride the whole way or don't bother!

Immobilizer activated or stator or pulse coil failed? A multimeter should give you an idea.NigelBickle wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 3:08 pm Envious, looks like too much potential fun there

Re: Two wheels good.
When we get back, they are driving back to Czechia, and I am riding there the day after they leave.Eddie Honda wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 4:06 pmI thought as much (hence the )
