With their latest naked middleweight going from strength to strength in the sales charts, Suzuki introduced a new version of their highly popular model at the tail end of 2006 – the GSR600S.

Featuring a new headlight fairing cowl for increased weather protection and a stylish radiator cover, the new Suzi’s subtle additions offer a great new alternative for riders looking for a sporty middleweight.

The race-proven GSX-R600 powerplant has been tuned for a broader powerband and more low-and mid-range torque. Tech-heads will like to know that the Suzuki Super Cast (SSC) pistons are manufactured using a high-pressure casting technique that reduces porosity and increases strength. Cylinders are coated with SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electromechanical Material). SCEM cylinders allow better heat transfer and tighter piston-to-cylinder clearance, improving efficiency.

And then there’s the revolutionary SDVT (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) fuel injection that uses two double-barrel 38mm throttle bodies. Suzuki's advanced Auto Fast Idle System (AFIS) automatically adjusts the throttle opening for easier cold starts.

The 43mm telescopic forks are fully adjustable for spring preload. While the rear spring preload has a 7-way adjuster while the rebound damping is fully adjustable. There are 4-piston calipers, 310mm dual-discs up front with a 240mm disc at the rear.

The stylish instrument panel includes an analog tach and LCD digital speedometer, along with LCD digital gear position indicator, odometer, duel trip meters, fuel gauge and clock.

Available in the matt black colour scheme only, the GSR600S costs the same as the standard GSR600. An immobilizer is fitted as standard.
