For sale is my Dad’s bike and sidecar outfit. A change in accommodation and deteriorating health forces the sale. The V5C is in his name. I have it and his instruction to sell the bike on his behalf.
The bike is a 2000 Yamaha XJ900 Diversion. The bike is shaft drive (minimal maintenance) and has a tubular steel frame suitable for attaching the sidecar to. The low down in the rev range torque from the 900cc motor is a great match for the sidecar. The bike has 34755 miles on it, which might increase very slightly as people view it. Although not a full service history, a lot of paperwork, including the manufacturer’s manual, came with the bike when my Dad obtained it in early 2025.
The sidecar is a Watsonian Monza, although I am not sure of its date of manufacture. Google the Watsonian-Squire website and you’ll see the Monza was introduced in 1962 and became one of the most popular models. Probably because it was easier to drive and more comfortable than the others.
In his ownership, the bike has benefited from a new front tyre, new front brake (master and slave) cylinder seals and fluid, new rear brake (master and slave) cylinder seals and fluid, plus new brake pads all around, an engine oil and filter service, plus plugs and an air filter, fog lights, a new clutch lever, a new battery, and new grips. Dad also fitted an electronic alarm (I’m not a fan of these), although this is easily removed if required. The sidecar has been “fettled” with an image of my folk’s pet Chihuahua adorning the side (also easy to remove) and the frame-to-bike connections adjusted, perfecting the alignment for easy driving and cornering. If you know, you know, sidecars are unusual beasties and getting them to behave is an art. I drove it about 10 miles to take it for an MOT (12 months MOT with no advisories) and am happy to say it drove very nicely, far better than it did when he obtained it. Having not fired up the engine in over three months since the bike came to live with me (in a neighbour’s garage), it fired up first time without any trouble when I took it for the MOT.
Storage space? Oh my gosh, lots of it. The bike has a Yamaha-branded top box fitted, which looks large enough to take two helmets. Then, the sidecar has its own trunk/boot which easily swallows more stuff. Finally, as I have personally experienced, there’s more storage space in the sidecar’s nose next to the passenger’s legs. Sidecar payload capacity; honestly, I don’t know, but we have comfortably had an adult plus 50kg of stuff in it and can report that the extra weight only improved the overall driving experience.
At my Dad’s last accommodation, there was no garage, so the bike had its own specially wide “bike shed”. This is a metal folding structure, which is anchored to the ground and has a tarpaulin cover stretched over the metal frame. The “bike shed” is included with the sale and has been dismantled for transportation. A brand new (never used) tarpaulin cover is included, apparently a spare was obtained.
Other extras included in the sale are the following: rain trousers – size XL, textile jacket – size XL, two open-face helmets each fitted with an intercom system, various spare parts for the bike and sidecar, assorted tools and a 5L petrol jerry can.
The bike is located in Redhill, Surrey. You are welcome to come and view it, and I’ll take you for a ride, but if you want to drive it, I will need the full asking price in cash in my hand or in my bank account, no exceptions. The “bike shed” components ideally need another vehicle for transport, so it is best if you drive to view instead of using the train (although this is possible, Redhill and Earlswood stations are nearby).
