Suzuki GSX-R 600
The 2008 Suzuki GSX-R600 gets a new look with more effective aerodynamics and a new fairing with three horizontally-mounted halogen headlights. Main beam uses all three lights, with a ‘position lamp’ above the main headlight to keep the traditional vertically-stacked look of the Suzuki GSX-R-600. They sit above the central two ram-air intakes in a fairing which is wider at the handlebars to reduce turbulence. There’s also a larger 17-litre tank to provide fuel for the 16,000rpm redline engine, which features three engine maps selectable on-the-fly, like the Suzuki GSX-R1000. It also has a new Suzuki fuel injection system, and is housed in an aluminium-alloy frame, with a new rear subframe which saves 125 grams. There are fully-adjustable Showa forks and rear shock, 14-position adjustable footpegs, an electronic steering damper which reacts to the speed of the motorcycle, and a seat height of 810mm. Lighter alloy wheels are the same dimensions as the previous Suzuki GSX-R600, but save 430 grams between them. The front brakes are dual radial-mount opposed Tokico front calipers with 310mm discs. The single-piston rear Tokico caliper works with a 220mm disc.
FEATURES:
- Updated compact and lightweight 599cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled
engine designed with increased performance and responsiveness in mind
New Chassis
- Aggressive new overall design features a well balanced combination of
compactness with the high performance look of a GSX-R
REVIEW
New, err... redesigned for '08, the
middleweight GSX-R600 surprised more than a few of us earlier
this year when it nearly won our 600cc Shootout. We had a taste
of the little Gixxer earlier in the winter at the world wide
press introduction and came away only mildly impressed - much we
later found out was due to the use of OE street rubber on the
racetrack.
