In 2002, the GSX-R600 was back with its lightweight and proven performance, but also with new looks and features such as bolt-on bungee hooks, a polished stainless steel exhaust pipe, and both headlights operated in the low beam mode.

Also, in 2002, Suzuki launched the GSX-R600M, a limited edition of the Telefonica Movistar team that replicated the exact look of the Suzuki RGV-500 used by Kenny Roberts to win the 500cc World Championship, combined with the performance of the GSX-R600.

The lightweight and agile GSX-R600 packed a twin-spar aluminum frame with a bolt-on subframe and a lightweight aluminum swingarm, lightweight fully adjustable suspension, and 17 inches lightweight aluminum wheels with radial tires, all wrapped in an aerodynamic package.

Jumping into the figures, the 2002 Suzuki GSX-R600 Telefonica Replica took its thrust from a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 115 hp at 13,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 10,800 rpm. With a dry weight of 163 kg (359 lbs) and a six-speed manual transmission, the bike went flying to a top speed of 263 (163 mph).

Based on the proven performance of the GSX-R750, the model was designed as the fastest, lightest, and best-handled 600cc bike on the market at the time.
