In 2004, Suzuki launched the GSX-R600 model, which came with visual and performance updates such as titanium valves for more precise, dependable operation in the high revs range and an all-new 32-bit ECU, which provided better engine and fuel management.

At the same time, the 600cc-class Gixxer had a narrower frame which also brought a revised bodywork for improved aerodynamics, and a fuel tank that was also narrower for improved airflow. The bike featured a new satin-black finished frame with thinner twin-spar bits that differed from the previous version with the removable aluminum subframe. The seat rails were made of aluminum, as well as the cast bridge underneath, which provided better crash resistance.

In the visual department, the bike featured a more aggressive look, with the side-by-side lamps replaced by vertically stacked headlights installed in a more aerodynamic fairing, as well as the turn signals, also designed with cutting-wind technology.

Jumping into the power department, the 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600 engine, was redesigned for more power and less weight with a fuel injection system, titanium valves, lighter pistons, camshafts, and much more. The 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled redesigned engine developed a power output of 124 hp at 13,500 rpm with the ram air to the max and 70 Nm (51 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,800 rpm. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 161 kg (355 lbs), the bike was pushed to a top speed of 255 kph (158 mph).
