2023 Suzuki GSX-R600 Base

2023 Suzuki GSX-R600

Suzuki revolutionized the sportbike category with the introduction of the original GSX-R750 in 1985, and later expanded GSX-R lineage with the addition of the GSX-R600. The 2023 GSX-R600 embodies Suzuki’s tradition of blending race-winning capability with impeccable street manners.

The GSX-R600’s compact, powerful, four-cylinder engine promptly reacts when you twist the throttle, while its supremely refined suspension and brakes provide precise, responsive handling. The superb ergonomics boosts control and comfort while the iconic GSX-R bodywork looks great under any of the three available paint schemes.

The GSX-R600’s race-ready look isn’t manufactured, it’s the true byproduct of decades of production roadracing dominance that continues to this day. For a rider considering a mid-size Supersport bike that’s at home or the track or the street, there’s only one choice; the Suzuki GSX-R600.

• Key Features

The 2023 GSX-R600 is available in new Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Matte Stellar Blue, or Glass Sparkle Black and Glass Matte Mechanical Gray paint schemes.

The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) lets the rider adjust the engine’s power delivery to suit the riding conditions.

The Showa Big Piston Front Fork (BPF) and remote reservoir rear shock absorber are fully adjustable to deliver exceptional handling.

The GSX-R600’s compact, fuel-injected, 599cc, four-cylinder engine delivers a rush of power from idle to redline. Located between the frame’s spars, the engine’s top end is canted forward to improve cylinder head charging for increased power output.

• Engine Features

A compact 599cc, four-cylinder engine with a race-proven over-square bore/stroke ratio produces remarkably strong high rpm power delivery.

Camshafts with aggressive valve-lift profiles were developed using proven MotoGP racing engine technology – the first time this method was applied to a production Suzuki.

Lightweight and durable forged pistons were designed using the same Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology used for MotoGP racing engines.

The energy-efficient engine employs forged pistons, shot-peened connecting rods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes to reduce frictional and mechanical losses.

• Chassis Features

Lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum alloy frame is constructed of five cast sections to produce a balance of light weight and strength.

The frame is mated with a cast aluminum swingarm and multi-piece rear sub-frame that’s ready for racetrack use.

Race-developed, lightweight Showa Big Piston Front Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance.

Single Showa rear shock absorber features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height.

Electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force at racetrack and highway speeds.

Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs are grasped by radial-mount, four-piston Brembo Monobloc calipers.

• Additional Features

Stylized Suzuki logos and emblems on the fuel tank and the fork upper bracket denote the quality, sophistication, and performance legacy of the brand.

A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories for GSX-R owners are available, including a large selection of Suzuki logo apparel.

Optional single seat cowl can replace the passenger seat for an even more aggressive look or for use on solo rides or track days.
