Overview

The Suzuki GSX-R600 is one of the last inline-four holdouts in the supersport category, maintaining its reputation for high performance and precise handling. Despite not seeing a major update in 13 years, the GSX-R600 remains the go-to supersport for many, thanks to its well-engineered components and rider-focused features. The bike returns for 2025 as a carryover but with updated color options/graphics.

Powered by a 599cc inline-four engine, which can be tailored to suit different riding styles through the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) that features two maps, the GSX-R600 delivers responsive acceleration and a wide powerband, ideal for both novice and experienced riders alike. The GSX-R600′s suspension setup plays a crucial role in its outstanding handling capabilities. It is equipped with a Showa Big Piston Front Fork (BPF) and a Showa rear shock, which offers tunability for increased stiffness at the track or a softer ride on the street.

Braking performance is another highlight of the GSX-R600, with Brembo Monoblock calipers providing strong and reliable stopping power at the front.

Adding to the bike’s appeal are several MotoGP-derived technologies that enhance its performance and character. From the valve-lift profiles to the ignition control programming, these elements bring a touch of race-proven engineering to the GSX-R600, making it not just a bike for the streets but also a capable machine on the track. The GSX-R600 continues to be a compelling choice for those seeking a well-rounded, high-performance supersport motorcycle. The GSX-R600Z is updated with unique graphics and a color scheme that pays homage to Suzuki’s racing heritage.
