Which motorcycle to buy

Choosing a motorcycle in 2022 is difficult for beginners, if only because of the variety of modifications. But you still need to choose the right model, taking into account the purpose for which the motorcycle is needed. All types of devices are produced under the Yamaha brand. Japanese technology is popular: Yamaha is in demand due to its affordable prices and high quality.

Selecting a Yamaha motorcycle by type

To settle on a specific model, first get acquainted with the available options. The Yamaha manufacturer offers the following motorcycles:

classic (road) - for every day for urban conditions, for short trips on the highway;
tourist (tourer) - proposed by Yamaha for long distances;
sports (racing) – endurance high-speed models;
cross (enduro) - a lightweight, “thin” device for off-road driving;
chopper – for long rides at a moderate pace with comfort thanks to a comfortable fit;
dragster - for short-distance speed competitions.

The classic Yamaha motorcycle is called the most popular among beginners, as it forgives mistakes.

Chassis

The main off-road characteristics of the Yamaha XT 600 were almost completely erased during numerous modifications. The small travel and soft suspension are not suitable for aggressive driving on rough terrain, but make it easy to overcome difficult sections of ordinary roads at high speed. Traveling over long distances is possible thanks to the energy-intensive suspension.

With an average fuel consumption of 4 liters, the fuel tank capacity of 15 liters is sufficient for long journeys. The manufacturer provides the possibility of installing larger tanks, making the motorcycle more autonomous.

The years that have passed since the release of the first Yamaha XT 600 model have had a positive impact on the number of additional accessories and spare parts that can dramatically change the appearance of the motorcycle and improve its technical characteristics.

Studying the technical characteristics of Yamaha models

When considering the Yamaha lineup, the first thing people pay attention to is the engine. A powerful engine (from 900 cc in volume) is worth taking if you have driving experience.

The next point when buying a sports motorcycle, cruiser or other type of two-wheeled vehicle is handling and stability. Yamaha engineers strive to design the chassis in such a way that, with minimal effort from the driver, the motorcycle maintains balance as it moves.

Another significant point on which safety depends is the braking system. There are fans of separate front and rear brakes, but Yamaha units are also popular, where they are combined into a single whole.

Behavior on the highway

The Yamaha XT 600 is a versatile motorcycle not intended for motocross trails, but the traction and engine power are more than enough to overcome off-road conditions.

The car's handling on the road is ideal: mistakes made by the driver are not felt, the suspension softens all road irregularities, regardless of the type of surface. This behavior makes the motorcycle ideal for beginner motorcyclists: mistakes do not lead to falls.

Brand benefits

The history of Yamaha motorcycles began in 1887 with the creation of Nippon Gakki Co. Initially it was the production of musical instruments, gradually the range of activities expanded. Since 1995, a separate line has been dedicated to the production of motorcycles.

Today in Moscow, Yamaha represents reliability and style for bikers. In a wide range, you can choose and buy a motorcycle in a modern design with specified parameters that meet the needs of the driver. At the same time, Yamaha is easy to control, which beginners appreciate.

Peculiarities

The versatility of the Yamaha XT 600 causes non-critical shortcomings - for example, it is not particularly convenient to move around the city limits due to the insufficient efficiency of the braking system, which significantly limits maneuverability. The motorcycle begins to wobble noticeably at speeds above 120 km/h, which is, in fact, a payment for the frame and soft suspension, which ensures comfortable movement.

Tuning, which is available to every owner of a Yamaha XT 600 and involves replacing the intake system and piston group, can increase engine power, but has a negative impact on its reliability. For this reason, it is advisable to immediately install a more powerful power unit.

Unpretentiousness in maintenance and operation and unsurpassed reliability are the undeniable advantages of the motorcycle. All technical work related to the engine, after installing a reusable air filter, is reduced only to the timely replacement of engine oil.

The motorcycle's head optics, which are not powerful enough, cause a lot of criticism. All owners of the Yamaha XT 600 in their reviews note this problem, which cannot be eliminated even by installing popular xenon headlights. Of course, one can hope that the manufacturer will solve this shortcoming, but for so many years of the motorcycle’s existence, nothing has been done about it.
