In 2009, Suzuki launched the GSX-R600, an entry-point sportbike in the 2009 Suzuki line-up, which retained many features that gave it an extra edge on the racetrack and also used as a daily city slicer.

The GSX-R600 was often referred to as a benchmark machine for the class and was always in a constant battle for the top places. The new model didn't come with any significant differences from the previous models but instead offered consistent performance.

The bike featured an aggressive new bodywork design, a bold headlight design, and an angular tail section, mounted on an aluminum alloy frame made of five cast sections and designed for an ideal balance of rigidity for improved handling and weight reduction. For more rigidity and improved acceleration, the bike featured cast aluminum wheels in an angled five-spoke design.

For a more comfortable ride, the model featured die-cast three-way adjustable footpegs on 14 mm vertical and horizontal range. Also, the instrument cluster featured a compact and lightweight design with a step motor-controlled analog tachometer, LCD speedometer, clock, and a gear position indicator.

The 2009 Suzuki GSX-R600, had its heartbeat set by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed an output power of 125 hp at 13,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) of torque at 11,500 rpm. With a dry weight of 163 kg (359 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 253 kph (157 mph).
