    Yamaha Diversion?

    Anyone heard of one of these? Came across it on Trademe. A dealers got it. Its a '91 400cc
    Seems pretty cheap for the price, only 1500k's. Did a search on google and all i can find is stuff on a XJ900. Wonder if it is similar or what?
    Anyone know anything about these things?
    Looks like a nice bike in the picture and the XJ900 got a good write up at least. I'm looking around for a beginers bike and the 400cc capacity will likely not be a problem as i can get an exemption cos i'm a big fat bastard.
    Any info/links on a yamaha diversion 400 would be gratefully recieved

    Cheers

    That sounds like something you might have to do to save going to court

    Um, err?????

    An exemption, from the cc restriction? For being a fat bastard?
    Well, I'm a relatively "fat bastard" and I had to sit on a 250cc till I got my full licence, so don't hold your breath!

    You can get an exemption from KFC, Macca's and Burger King Heaven knows I should get one!

    If you try a Triumph 600 TT (as I think you were planning), and then a Diversion 400, I believe you will be somewhat underwhelmed by the 400.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It looks like a two cylinder slow bike with not good brakes. i.e. a 400 version of a gn250 (with fairings)

    Well, i'm a tall and fat bastard. Thus i can supposedly get an exemption from the 250cc limit thing.
    I have been reliably informed i should be able to get this exemption. I have a name and number of a guy who went thru the process who is a tall and fat, i wont call him a bastard cos i dont know him yet and might need his help...
    I think its tallness as well as fatness thats taken into consideration (being a bastard is optional i guess but maybe it helps)

    Can you quote the relevant transport or other regs?

    I think you have me mixed up with someone else Jim2... i never heard of a Triumph 600 TT nor planed on trying one, but from those comments i guess i should, but theyre probably way out of my price range??. The Diversion grabbed my attention because it seemed so cheap. You see, not only am i a tall fat bastard i am also a poor bastard.

    175cm, 100kg. With the help of the local Dunkin Donuts, could probably add an extra (temporary) 10-20 in short order a la Raging Bull if it would get me a license exemption
