The original GSX 600F was launched in 1988 as a sportsbike. At that time, its specification was perfectly acceptable for a performance machine all enclosing bodywork, a 16 valve engine and monoshock rear suspension put it on a par with its peer group. Only the slightly bland styling marked the GSX out from its competitors. By 1998, the GSX 600F had been relegated to a more pedestrian budget sports tourer role.







==2000 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2000-2000-1.jpg|600px|2000 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2000-2000-0.jpg|600px|2000 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

The 2000 MY GSX600F Katana is what we'd generally call a "sport bike". It packs plenty of power to effortlessly reach 200 km/h and has enough muscle for passing most other vehicles on the road with no hassle. The riding position was tweaked for more comfort, so the bike can be used as a commuter machine. Still,a dding accessory luggage systems will also transform it into a worthy road-touring bike.

The Katana offers 80 hp and 54 Nm of torque, and a manual 6-speed transmission, for both low-range useability and high-revving exhilaration.


==2001 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2001-2001-1.jpg|600px|2001 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2001-2001-0.jpg|600px|2001 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

The GSX600F Katana has always offered a big bang for the buck, and the 2001 model year is not making an exception to this rule. This very affordable bike was sold for around $6500 and provided the rider with a thrilling experience, plenty of passing power but without being intimidating for the newer, less experienced riders.

The GSX600F Katana arrives with an in-line 4 engine, adjustable suspensions and a stiff frame derived from the sport bikes created for the track. This ensures a great feeling through fast turns and excellent handling in the urban clutter as well, adding to the joy of riding.


==2002 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2002-2002-0.jpg|600px|2002 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

The GSX600F Katana is the smaller brother of the GSX750F, and shares the same excellent bang-for-the-buck factor. Fun, non-intimidating but nevertheless offering plenty of thrill, the 2002 MY GSX600F Katana is a supersport-sized bike with excellent streetability. It can be used for commuting, weekend getaways and even longer trips, as its ergonomics is top-notch, tweaked for both comfort and extended useability.

There are many aspects the GSX600F Katana shares with its bigger brother, and maneuverability is only one of them. The small Katana packs 78 horsepower and this is more than enough for  fast highway hauls, aggressive city slicing or carving the twisties, solo or two-up.


==2003 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2003-2003-1.jpg|600px|2003 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2003-2003-0.jpg|600px|2003 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

If you're a Supersport Gixxers fan but would rather be able to ride your sporty bike on a daily basis and even take it for longer trips, the GSX600F Katana is definitely the way to go. Just like its 750cc-class sibling, the 2003 MY GSX600F Katana receives a redesigned rear section, for improved aesthetics. A new taillight and a revised cowl are installed on the bike, retaining the aluminum passenger grab bar.

You're in for quite a lot of fun with the bike's 78 hp and 6-speed transmission, plus an upright riding position which s good for both daily city slicing and for long hours spent in the seat. Nimble and fairly lightweight, this bike mixes a sporty feel with excellent all-rounder character.


==2004 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==

The 2004 MY GSX600F Katana is the final chapter in a beautiful and successful story. Suzuki decided to call it quits, as a new generation of sporty all-rounders was coming. Still, the 2004 MY GSX600F Katana is one of the elite machines in its segment, thanks to the exceedingly friendly character, very good ergonomics and premium agility for city slicing.

The GSX600F Katana has also replaced the full brand name badge on the tank with the modern Suzuki S emblem, but its 599cc in-line four is still good for 78 hp and 54 Nm, making this bike a really fun machine even for seasoned riders. And with its excellent two-up rideability, it only needs a luggage system and an open road.


==2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2005-2005-2.jpg|600px|2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2005-2005-0.jpg|600px|2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

Looking for a more streetable version of the supersport machines? The 2005 MY GSX600F Katana is the answer if you're into Suzukis. The smallest member of the Katana family has received a better power management feature which switches off the headlight during startup to reduce the load on the battery.

The valve timing has been revised for  more mid-range power, and the tires are compliant with the safety requirements of high-speed riding.


==2006 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2006-2006-2.jpg|600px|2006 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2006-2006-0.jpg|600px|2006 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

The 2006 MY GSX600F Katana would be hard to differentiate from its 750cc sister in the 600 sticker on the tail would not be there. The smaller of the two Katana bikes retains the same sporty, street-ready attire, with fluid, flowing shapes and eye-pleasing liveries which blend in both track-inspired themes and road-focused head-turning factor.

Like the 750cc Katana, the 2006 MY GSX600F Katana has received new turn signals, with yellow bulbs and  clean lenses for a more modern look. The bikes remains a carbureted, air and oil-cooled model, with plenty of agility for slicing the urban jungle, while being more than capable to provide thrills around each bend of a countryside road.


==2007 Suzuki GSX600F Katana==
[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2007-2007-3.jpg|600px|2007 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

[[File:suzuki-gsx600-2007-2007-0.jpg|600px|2007 Suzuki GSX600F Katana]]

Even though no longer selling in all the markets where it used to, GSX600F Katana has gotten to live to see its 2007 model year. The bike retains the features which made it so popular, with the resemblance to the sporty 600cc Gixxer being most likely the most important factor. The engine remained air and oil-cooled, with the Mikuni carburetors still in place. 

The design cues have remained the same, with minor updates to make the bike stand in line with its modern counterparts, and the iconic dual-oval headlights and the matching side vents are still the unmistakable trademark for the GSX600F Katana.
