    Just bought a XJ6S Diversion today, used one 2000km, as my first motorbike (got my license on Monday). Hope I'll have fun :D.

    • @CalmBiker

      Good choice! Hope you enjoy it.

    I remember first riding my duke 125, felt like a rocket compered to my 50.
    That was from about 8hp to 15hp, so 15 to the 97(45 when in restricted mode) of the street triple is going to be pretty scary

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +JackSwatman Oh yes, quite a jump. Great fun though.

    • @JackSwatman
      @JackSwatman 9 лет назад

      Went from 1700 (idle) to 2000 down my street and almost shat myself, it's scary!!

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +JackSwatman Haha! My new one transforms into a unicycle when it hits 7,000rpm.

    • @JackSwatman
      @JackSwatman 9 лет назад

      Think I'll try for another 300rpm, 7000 will probably leave my seat and trousers brown

    @thedirtyworkshop 7 лет назад

    LOL this is the next project bike for the channel. However, with a few alterations. Looking into swapping out the camshafts, or swaping out the entire engine. We'll all have to wait and see - matt

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  7 лет назад

      Awesome! I need to finish watching the 500 videos first but will definitely be watching those.
      I'm still on the lookout for a project to try to expand my skills. I really enjoyed the TDM project.

  • @RevvedUpBiker
    @RevvedUpBiker 9 лет назад

    I did my lessons on the XJ6N, and it was a blast... so I recommend one too.

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +RevvedUpBiker Yep, definitely a good starter.

  • @roadglider2494

      +steelfabric I will have to do a walk round.

    @veryAngryandy 9 лет назад

    great choice iv just got one in green but not the 2014 model , big grin

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +notAngryandy I like green but the new paint scheme with the black nose didn't appeal. I prefer the one with the green nose. The black and carbon looks pretty mean though :-)

    • @veryAngryandy
      @veryAngryandy 9 лет назад

      +CalmBiker iv got a green nose :-)

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +notAngryandy Definitely better.

  • @ReggiewithTwoGs
    @ReggiewithTwoGs 9 лет назад

    Nice talk up about the old bike. Can't wait to see the new one. Going to assume it's the Kawa at the end.

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +ReggiewithTwoGs That's the one, yep.

    • @ReggiewithTwoGs
      @ReggiewithTwoGs 9 лет назад

      I think I know what it is. But I will keep that to myself.

  • @jorgemtds

    I also love the Kawasaki Z1000SX Tourer. Good choice.

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +jorge santos Cheers Jorge. I love the bike.

  • @CGD217
    @CGD217 9 лет назад

    Sat watching the video thinking it was going to be a Tiger 800 - until you said the new bike had spades of power, then I thought it'd be a Z1000SX - lovely looking bike and a cracking colour! Congrats!

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +CGD217 Cheers! Just need to run the thing in so I can play with that power :-)

    • @CGD217

      +CalmBiker oh a brand spanker. Lovely !!

  • @bloodyhell451
    @bloodyhell451 9 лет назад

    Coor - it's a looker - even with the panniers on !

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад +1

      +vitaly deuterium I love the looks. Looks even better with them off and you can barely tell it had them - no framework left.

  • @AamirTime
    @AamirTime 8 лет назад

    Great video. I've just bought one. Looks great.

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  8 лет назад

      I really enjoyed it. To be honest, I wish I hadn't sold it. It would have been perfect as a winter bike and tourer when I want to go away with Mrs C.

  • @thor_bc5929
    @thor_bc5929 9 лет назад

    Very nice CB........That's a proper Bat Bike!

  • @Motortriker
    @Motortriker 9 лет назад

    Nice one CB. End of an era: first RJ loses his Nuda now you've got rid of the Divvy - but I don't suppose you'll miss it too badly now you've got the new ride.
    Very happy for you buddy.

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +Motorbiker Ha ha! I'm enjoying the new one. It's about the same speed/acceleration as the XJ6 because it's limited until run-in. Can't wait to unleash all those horses and torques!

    • @Motortriker
      @Motortriker 9 лет назад

      Hope you read the manual before leaving the dealership like the Yamaha sticker said to do for the Divvy :)

  • @HamSpamJamLamb
    @HamSpamJamLamb 9 лет назад

    I was expecting a Tiger 800 if I'm honest. Don't know why, just love 'em... Nice steed nonetheless!

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад +1

      +HamSpamJamLamb They're a bit tall for my tiny legs :-D

  • @SkeggyCruiser
    @SkeggyCruiser 9 лет назад

    Sad to see it go,, but hello you beauty, bet that was a ride home you enjoyed, also I bet you never even gave the old bike a thought until it came to uploading this video, lol, RSM8.

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +Skeggy Cruiser You might be right. Can't go too quick at the moment because it needs running in a bit. I did get 150 miles done during the day I picked it up though.

  • @rneustel222
    @rneustel222 9 лет назад

    I'm not sure CalmBiker is the proper name for the bat bike!

    Excellent use of the horn! :)

  • @ewanstevenson4721
    @ewanstevenson4721 Год назад

    Interesting video. I just fitted a full exhaust and although it's not like my carburettor hornet it's very close.
    I hate the reviews that say it's boring as it isn't with a full exhaust system.
    What bike did you get?
    I had a Fuel injection hornet as well. So jerky and quite scary over bumps. At 57 yes old think I'll stick with this all rounder 🤔

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  Год назад

      I had a few since that one and ended up with a Z1000. Great fun but not practical.

  • @Bex88_UK
    @Bex88_UK 9 лет назад

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +Pedz "Ze Bandit" It's easy during the running in period but I remember the test ride - it really does want to be a unicycle.

  • @hwima9053
    @hwima9053 9 лет назад

    Has Tosh twentythree just spilled the beans? I think the MT09 is the wheelie machine. Can't wait

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +Hwima It's right at the end of the video :-)

    • @hwima9053
      @hwima9053 9 лет назад

      Didn't think you'd make it easy for us to guess lol. Even better if it's the Z1000 SX. Congrats

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  8 лет назад

      +Matt Mckay Ah, I gave it away :-)

    • @mattmckay8565

      +CalmBiker no worries. I thought it was too good to be true haha. subscribed anyway. good videos!

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  8 лет назад

      +Matt Mckay Thanks Matt. Definitely worth getting a fender extender. I did destroy a fan on the XJ6 with a stone. Bit of bad design around the back of the radiator. They are about £20 on eBay - much cheaper than a new fan!

    Hi calm biker. In the video, I heard you saying it's a great first bike. Did you get the bike before the CBT and A1 licence requirements came out.

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +SuperMotoGuy99 I really meant a great first bike after passing. I got it a week after passing my DAS.

    • @daviesjack12

    Now you take it easy on that Richard, the national speed limit will appear twice as quickly. Remember the two second rule! 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi ..throttle off!

    • @CalmBiker
      @CalmBiker  9 лет назад

      +Noel Johnson Luis has asked for it first. If he can't get it I'll let people know it's still available through the Facebook. No charge - just need to meet up somewhere to give it away.
