In 2000, Suzuki launched the GSX-R600, which at the time, was one of the most popular supersport machines in modern history, that packed Suzuki's road-racing heritage with modern technologies and offered a thrilling, rewarding experience.
The release of the 1997 model was Suzuki's first attempt at a modern Supersports 600cc-class motorcycle that looked identical to the well-known GSX-R750 and packed performance figures that matched its race-replica style.
The GSX-R600 featured a conventional engine and chassis, with an inline-four 599cc engine mounted in an aluminum twin-spar frame wrapped in a race fairing. The bike featured Improved ergonomics that allowed the rider to stay longer on the bike, and also useable for commuting.
In the power department, the 2000 Suzuki GSX-R600 was taking its thrust from a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 110 hp at 11,800 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) of torque at 10,000 rpm. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 174 kg (384 lbs) resulted in a top speed of 254 kph 158 mph).
Onto the twin-spar aluminum frame, the bike packed a fully adjustable 41 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear, while the stopping power was achieved by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
The 2000 GSX-R600 motorcycle was for sale in 2022 starting from $2000.
