The diversion may be a 600cc bike but it only has an 8 valve engine after all (61bhp ain't too bad)............ compared to the 600 bandit which has a 16 valve motor and still only has around 87bhp. A 1200cc bandit is around the 100bhp mark but is twice the capacity of the 600...... these bikes are built for a purpose, as commuters/tourers designed for comfort and fuel efficiency. not to cane STI's & EVO's.

you want better performance. buy a sports bike not a commuter

The diversion/seca 2 is no match for a modern 600 sport bike, however, A K&N filter, pipes and jetting really improves it. I have both stock and cobra pipes for mine and the differene between the two are phenomenal. The top end is dead with the stock mufflers, but with the cobras the top end comes alive. You get a real kick in the pants at 5500-6500 rpm.
