SUZUKI GSX-R600 (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

With the success of the liter-class GSX-R1000, the smallest member of the family could not be left without a hefty infusion of race-proven technology. Multiple findings which helped the GSX-R1000 dominate the racetracks around the world have been downscaled and adapted to fit the 600cc machine.

In 2007, Suzuki launched the GSX-R600 motorcycle, which got a race-derived aluminum frame and swingarm, top-drawer dual valve throttle intake, a new rear suspension linkage, and reworked Showa suspensions overall for better handling in both civil and racetrack scenarios. In addition, the bike featured the works-tweaked aerodynamic bodywork and sleek under-engine exhaust for better looks.

The engine was designed narrower, lighter, and with an improved fuel injection system with two injectors per cylinder that featured Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) system for smooth throttle response and more torque at higher revs.

The 2007 Suzuki GSX-R600, powered by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, developed an output power of 124 hp at 13,000 rpm and 70 Nm (51 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,800 rpm. Combined with the spinning guts of a six-speed transmission and a dry weight of 161 kg (355 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 255 kph (158 mph).

The 2007 Suzuki GSX-R600 model was for sale in 2022 starting from $6,000.
