The 2002 MY GSX-R600 shares the upgrades its bigger 750cc-class sibling introduced, so customers will get new bungee hooks, a cool polished look for the exhaust and will also enjoy the fact that both headlights operate in the low beam mode. | |||
Even though the engine is derived from that of the 750 Gixxer, it has plenty of original components engineered especially for it, and complying with the specific requirements of the supersport class. The 600cc GSX also sports the Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve System which involves a servo motor opening the second valve as the rider's hand pulls the first one's cable, and thus maintaining intake velocity at all engine speeds. | |||

Suzuki GSX-R600 is the 2002 AMA 600 Supersport Champion, so we're dealing with a real racer. This bike brings together racing-grade performance and street-level usability delivered in a package which looks just as good as it feels from behind the handlebars. For the 2003 MY, the GSX-R600 offers a new-generation fuel injection system with a more powerful ECU and improved mapping. | |||
Full adjust-ability for the suspensions is of course, standard, offering riders an easy way to tailor the bike's ground tracking capabilities according to the various riding scenarios. The riding position is still sporty, but offers a comfy ride for daily commuting if you're not living too far from work. | |||

The 2004 MY brings upgrades to the GSX-R600 as well. The Supersport star receives titanium valves for more precise, dependable operation in the high revs range, and an all-new 32-bit ECU which provides better engine and fuel management. At the same time, the 600cc-class Gixxer has a narrower frame which also brought a revised bodywork for improved aerodynamics. The fuel tank is also narrower to help improve air flow. | |||
Radial calipers and masters are also on the menu, for more precise braking and less unwanted flex, and are a great complement to the improved power deployment. | |||

The GSX-R600 needs no introduction, as it is one of the highly popular supersport-class machines of modern history. The 2005 MY just got smarter and will now switch off the headlights during startup, reducing the load on the battery. The bike boasts the same features which made it famous, with a narrow engine which favors aerodynamics, performance-enhancing cylinder coating, a compact build for premium handling at all speeds, on both track and street. | |||
The aluminum frame is similar to that of the original 750 Gixxer and is designed for a racey feel. The adjustable Showa suspensions provide a wide range of settings for multiple riding scenarios while the race-derived brakes offer excellent stopping power. | |||

The bike's frame was also revised entirely, with a new architecture and a new swingarm, also accommodating new suspension elements and new brakes to match the response of the new chassis. And with the new frame, three-way adjustable footpegs also became part of the standard package. | |||
