Success breeds success. And there's no better proof
than the incredible, all-new GSX-R600. For 2001, the
same engineers responsible for the most dominating
supersport of its generation � the GSX-R750 � have
focused on completely redesigning the GSX-R600. The
result is an awesome new 600cc supersport bike that's
lighter and quicker than ever, and ready to blow the
competition right off the track!
The new GSX-R600 was developed using the same
integrated design philosophy as the GSX-R750.
Following this approach, Suzuki's engine, chassis and
suspension engineers collaborated to develop the ideal
combination of chassis rigidity, weight placement and
frame geometry for the new GSX-R600. It has a
narrower engine than the previous model, which in turn
allows the bodywork to be narrower and more
aerodynamic. New, smaller dual-beam headlights and
more compact instruments allowed the reshaping of the
fairing nose for a more effective Suzuki Ram Air Direct
(SRADTM) intake system. The integration of all these
designs results in a new bike that weighs an incredible 24
pounds less, with four percent less aerodynamic drag.
The new engine uses the same basic design as the
GSX-R750, with liquid-cooling, a downdraft Twin Swirl
Combustion Chamber (TSCC�) head with four valves
per cylinder and cylinder bores plated with Suzuki
Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEMTM). It
produces unbelievable power throughout the mid-range
right on up to redline.
