SUZUKI GSX-R600 (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, Suzuki launched the GSX-R600, a motorcycle that represented the new generation of street-going sport bikes, a nifty heritage of more than one million Gixxers manufactured, and an excellent testimony of motorcycle-making excellence. In the past years, Suzuki did not make dramatic changes to its bikes but compensated with step-by-step improvements and tweaks, which allowed the GSX-R600 to keep up with the competition and even dominate the racing series.

The bike featured a lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum cradle frame made of five cast sections linked to a cast aluminum swingarm, on which was mounted the race-developed suspension, with a 41 mm Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) on the front that delivered unmatched feedback and consistent performance and an adjustable Showa monoshock on the rear.

The bike came equipped with three-way adjustable footpegs, an adjustable shift lever, and a short fuel tank, which created a more comfortable position. The lightweight and compact instrument cluster featured an analog tachometer with an LCD that showed the speed, clock, coolant temperature, oil pressure, gear position indicator, and more.

In the power department, the 2014 Suzuki GSX-R600 came with lightweight, durable forged pistons, Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System (SDTV), Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), and a four-in-one stainless steel exhaust system.

The bike was taking its thrust from a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which 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 160 kg (352 lbs), the bike registered a top speed of 253 kph (157 mph).
