In 2013, Suzuki released the GSX-R600, a bike with multiple racing accolades to its name, which remained one of the best-loved Supersport-class street machines ever made. The 2013 model carried on the successful recipe with refined performance and technology that delivered an even more rewarding riding experience on both track and urban tarmac.
With added Showa Big Piston front fork, a precise rear monoshock, a new shorter aluminum twin-spar extrusion frame, radial monoblock four-piston Brembo calipers on the front, and multiple other race-derived parts, the bike felt surprisingly bold each time. For a more comfortable position, the bike packed three-way adjustable footpegs, an adjustable shift lever, and a short fuel tank.
The engine featured lightweight and durable forged pistons, a Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system that used eight-hole injectors for more performance, and a Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) system, which offered at a push-of-a-button two-race-developed engine control maps to suit road conditions and personal performance preference.
The 2013 Suzuki GSX-R600, was taking its thrust from a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed a power output of 125 hp at 13,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) of torque at 11,500 rpm. The engine power, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 160 kg (352 lbs), pushed the bike to a top speed of 253 kph (157 mph).
