Impressive performance, exceptional handling and remarkable modern sport-styling prove the all-new redesigned 2011 GSX-R600 is a class-leading sport bike worthy of its race-winning GSX-R heritage. The GSX-R600's responsive and agile ride results from a new lightweight chassis with a compact wheelbase and race-developed suspension. Whether you’re tearing up the streets or dominating the racetrack, the all-new GSX-R600 is designed to offer unparalleled performance for all riding levels. A compact, powerful 599cc 4-cylinder engine demonstrates the advanced race-proven technology of the GSX-R line when you hit the throttle and push the RPMs to the redline. The GSX-R600. Designed to be the top performer in its class—it’s the total package ready to Own The Racetrack.

ENGINE FEATURES
1	599cc Engine The GSX-R is outfitted with a 599cc 4-cylinder engine with a race-proven oversquare bore/stroke ratio for an efficient, high-revving design.
	Camshaft profiles feature an aggressive valve-lift curve, developed using proven Suzuki race team engine technology—its first use on a production Suzuki.
	The engine employs shot-peened conrods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes.
	4-into-1 stainless-steel exhaust system with a titanium muffler, carrying a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve maximizing torque and improving throttle response, especially in the low-to-mid RPM range.
	Advanced, Suzuki race team developed transistorized ignition control circuit helps maintain more precise ignition timing across the range of engine temperature.
	Lightweight, durable forged pistons designed using Finite Element Method (FEM) and fatigue analysis technology used in Suzuki race team racing engines.
2	Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of two racing-developed engine control maps to suit road conditions and personal tastes.
	Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection, uses fine-spray 8-hole injectors for improved fuel atomization, which contributes to more complete combustion.
TRANSMISSION FEATURES
	The crankcase carries a six-speed close-ratio transmission with vertically staggered shafts, to reduce overall engine length.
	A race-proven back-torque-limiting clutch contributes to smoother downshifting and corner entry.
SUSPENSION
3	Showa Big-Piston front Fork Race-developed, lightweight Showa Big Piston front-Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance.
4	Rear Shock Single Showa rear shock features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height.
CHASSIS FEATURES
5	Twin-spar aluminum cradle frame Lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum cradle frame made of five cast sections and cast swingarm.
6	3-way adjustable footpegs Three-way adjustable footpegs, adjustable shift lever, and short fuel tank help compose a comfortable riding position.
	Small, simple and lightweight bodywork featuring exciting, aerodynamic styling.
7	Front Brakes Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo monoblock calipers.
8	Instrument Cluster Compact, lightweight instrument cluster with a built-in lap timer/stopwatch and programmable engine RPM indicator.
	Instrument cluster features an analog tachometer with LCD readouts of the speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure indicator, S-DMS and gear position indicators.
9	Steering Damper Electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force on the racetrack and at highway speeds.
