SUZUKI GSX-R600 (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The GSX-R600 was one of the most popular street-legal supersport bikes, and it only got better and better with each passing year. Because Suzuki was back to MotoGP in 2015, it was natural that one of the liveries evoked the premier class Racing Blue colors.

Some of the technologies from MotoGP made it to the GSX-R600 in one form or another, such as the high-tech slipper clutch, Brembo monoblock calipers, Showa BPF suspensions, driving modes, adjustable pegs, and more.

The 2015 Suzuki GSX-R600 featured MotoGP technology with lighter forged pistons and more aggressive valve lift curves that raised the throttle response and enhanced torque in the low-mid rpm range. Thanks to a close-ratio six-speed transmission, the bike benefitted with better starts, stronger accelerations, and faster exits out of the corners.

To match the extra power, the bike featured four-piston Brembo monoblock radial-mount calipers that worked together with two 310 mm discs on the front wheel and a two-piston caliper with a single 220 mm disc on the rear wheel.

It also featured a Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) with two separate engine maps that gave instant control over the power delivery best suited for both track and road conditions. The three-way adjustable footpegs were meant to provide more comfort, control, and less fatigue.

With the 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine installed at the base of an aluminum twin-spar extrusion frame, the bike developed an output power of 125 hp at 13,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) of torque at 11,500 rpm. Combined with a six-speed transmission and a dry weight of 160 kg (352 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 253 kph (157 mph)
