Hello All,

My name is mark and I am from the United Kingdom. I own a XJ6 diversion S in Blue.

I have had my unlimited licence for just over 12 months and this is my first "big" bike.

So far I am loving the machined and have no plans to upgrade at this point. Even having ridden some of my friends bikes with significantly more power.

Being 6'6" tall this was one of the only 600cc non adventure type bikes I could comfortably fit on.

I work as a Program Manger for a large engineering company and when not working riding my bike is my favorite pass time.

Look forward to talking to some of you guys and getting some inspiration for some potential modifications.

Welcome!

6'6"? I am surprised that you fit comfortably on the FZ6R.

I personally, am very glad to have a new active member here - we'll all definitely benefit from any additional participation. I look forward to seeing pictures of your bike!

Scotland is a beautiful place. I need to get a trailer to transport my bike up there as it would be a real drag to ride the little sports bike up there - About 10 hours ride.....I would never walk the same again...

Compared to other 600 class bikes it is pretty roomy. I learned on a Suzuki Gladius...that was a real squash.

In the UK on a provisional license you can only ride up to 125cc; that was interesting when I got to a hill...I weigh a good 19 stone..

I live near Leeds in the north of England. The best roads in Scotland in my eyes were around the Isle of sky. Where where you living?

a little town called Edzell in Angus, Scotland at the base of the Grampians. It was about half way between Aberdeen and Dundee Scotland which are both fairly decent sized cities in Scotland. I traveled to London a few times by car and train. Beautiful countryside in both countries. Had my tools stolen out of my car in Newcastle though and my speaker box (sub woofers). Someone stole them overnight while I was sleeping at a hotel.
