Even now in 2024, the XJ 900 S is a motorcycle of a fantastic formate! Nice riding position (who needs a "adventure bike"?) great fuel consumption value: 5,2 l / 100 km. Smple, reliable, shaft drive and a beautiful classic inline four aircooled look. There is no modern bike with these attributes! I will keep my 1995 XJ 900 S Diversion because there is no adequate option on the market at this time.
Woow 220km/h amazing for a touring bike that was usually used by traffic police in a lot of countries, this is really a smooth bike with nice sounds, plus it feels super stable with no drama at that high speed.
Such consistency - the fastest i ever saw on the clock on the one i owned was 134 mph, which is just a couple of mph slower than this. I absolutely loved mine. So underrated! It's a Sports/Tourer, but i used the Sports side of mine most of the time. So 'sure-footed', she never ever let me down. We knew each others' limitations and had respect for each other. I used to get the tyres (Bridgestone BT-020's) right over on to the edge of the tread regularly without any problems whatsoever. The fact that she was a 'shafty' never even occurred to me when i was tear-arse-ing along. In fact, the only real 'issue' was the brakes, but even then, once you had gotten used to them, you knew the score and 'allowed' for it. I miss my old girl and i've always said i would happily have another one in a heartbeat. Engine was pretty much bullet-proof. Despite the many criticisms, i have to say this is a much mis-understood and underrated bike. Each to their own, i guess... 😉
Really nice comment! Yeah it's an awesome bike and can be had for really cheap money here in Germany. In this condition in which the one is in this video for under 2000€. He got that bike from a dealer for 1700€ with new tyres and a full carbo clean. Sadly he sold it because it got too heavy for my friend.
IV owned 2 XJ 900s the very early 1 and an 87 new I really wish I'd never sold or traded it in I'm on the FJR 1300 06 nowadays with 164000 KMs without any issues I'd buy another XJ 900 today if it popped up love the shaft driven bike's especially the older models there all practically bulletproof as long as there serviced I'm 65 in August and have been riding since I was 10 years old and female 💯 please stay safe look right look left and stay upright and defencive enjoy your bike my friend love from Australia 🦘🌏
I had one for a time and really liked it, by far the best motorway bike I'd ever ridden however I pushed it a bit too much and had a couple of mishaps, to be honest it wasn't really the bike for me, I wanted too much from it and didn't really understand or appreciate what it was, even when not pushing it hard my riding style was not compatible with it, I chopped it in for the Honda CBF600 that had just came out then and was much more what I needed, even though it felt small straight after the diversion, I could take the absolute .... out of the CBF and it let me, it was the perfect bike for me I'd never have another as we are not made for each other but I always remember the big divvy fondly.
Eines er besten und zuverlässigsten Bikes, die je gebaut wurden. Ich bleibe meiner XJ treu. Bin aus dem Alter raus, wo die Fahrt zur Arbeit die Isle of Man Trophy werden muss.
I had one of these a few years ago. Smooth power and a joy to ride, but unfortunately just a bit too tall for me (I’m 175cm) and I was on tiptoes every time I stopped. I sold it and got a Triumph Thunderbird 900, which is a bit less refined but more my style … and I can get both feet flat on the ground. But for a taller rider and as a long distance cruiser, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
J'aime bien la diversion , c'est du solide , moi j'ai un suzuki gsx 1100 g à cardan , pas besoin de poussez les rapport à fond elle tracte du bas du compte tours jus quand haut en cinquième ! avec un petit 240 km/h compteur ce qui fait un bon 225 chrono
I bought these bikes at a really cheap price € 1000 for each one, one with 36'000 km and the other with only 20.500 km, both of them as new they are really fantastic bikes for me and I always use them when I can they are a bit heavy to still, but they are really well built and every time I turn them on their saund excites me, do you also have this effect or am I a bit crazy? nice video congratulations
Wonderful video. Enjoyed. What are the RPM in 5th gear at 100 km/h? What is your average consumption? This could be a great vintage after some years. What do you think? Got my like mate. Drop by when have time. You may like my content.
Sorry bike was sold a little while ago. Can't give you any exact answer on RPMs or fuel consumption. But it's a great bike, that can be had for very cheap. If you can buy one, get one. Only downside is its weight and well, no 6th gear. ^^ Thanks for the comment!
@@meoffjackI always felt that mine needed a sixth gear, but then I realised that 5th just kept on going up without running out of revs. Brilliant bike, but kinda heavy and really tall in the seat. Moving, it’s a dream. Stopped at lights, it’s a bit of a leg workout.
I daily a XJ900 now and I usually get 17 kilometers per liter. I did a 400KM tour once and hit 22 kilometers per liter. Given its a 25L tank you can expect about ~400 kilometers before needing a refill (given that you drive conservatively).

Wie viel verbraucht den deine ? Ich hatte bis jetzt verbräche zwischen 4,8 und 5,6 Liter gehabt. Wenn ich viel Autobahn fahre, dann komme ich meistens auf 5,5 Liter , auf Landstraße deutlich weniger und das finde ich total in Ordnung .

As good as a BMW without the stupid price . Excellent bikes 👍👍
Much better than most BMW!
… and a shaft drive.
I love the immediate torque of a shaft drive.
These bikes are built to last, very under rated

Ja, tolles Bike. Zuverlässig wie ne Honda NTV. Bekommt man nicht kaputt. Leider nur sau schwer.
@@meoffjack und trotzdem gut im handling.
What is the amount of fuel dispensing per 100 km
@@عليالموسوي313-غ1ع to much
They were a great bike and besides from the problem with the fuel gauge sender unit that were just about indestructible.
I had the same model. Top speed 220 km/h but at 160 km/h was the most comfortable bike I've ever had.....
🙂
XJ900 Diversion, hab das Bike auch - einfach genial
Yep, ist ein schönes Bike!
Wie ein guter Wein: Je älter. desto besser. XJ 900S, BJ. 95 -ehrlich, schnörkellos, ein paar Pfunde zuviel, und sie macht verdammt viel Spaß!!
Hab ich auch :-) einfach ein tolles Moped.
About the Same as a BMW K-100 , the nearest Direct Comparison Bike . Looked REALLY stable .
These bikes are build to ride.....and ride.... and ride ❤❤

Fahre eine Grüne aus 2001.
Die Mängel sind bekannt (hohes Gewicht, Verbrauch,
Bremsen), doch sie war und
ist ,die Unterschätzte und Zuverlässige' :
Eine bildschöne Einheit von
Motor, Kardan und Auspuff.
Schnellere Motorräder wurden und werden gebaut, doch sie sind so verkleidet, dass man keinen schönen Anblick mehr genießen kann.
Gute Fahrt!!!
😎✔️
Yep, schönes Bike! Einziger Nachteil war wirklich das Gewicht. Alles andere war top!
Wie viel verbraucht den deine ? Ich hatte bis jetzt verbräche zwischen 4,8 und 5,6 Liter gehabt. Wenn ich viel Autobahn fahre, dann komme ich meistens auf 5,5 Liter , auf Landstraße deutlich weniger und das finde ich total in Ordnung .
@@alexanderpolle5869 Ja bei sparsamer Fahrweise war der Verbrauch bei Siggi auch so hoch. Bei Autobahntouren schluckte die eine Menge mehr... 😁😁🤘🤘
Yep 😂😂

Ich hab sie in schwarz, auch geil, aber nicht so schön wie dieses blau
Yamaha blau ist einfach schön. 😉

Damn ill try again in summer mine wouldn't go past 128mph 🤣🤣🤣 was sat at it for a fair few miles n all
Only 10mph difference. I guess that's no problem. ^^
