Genuine Performance Engineering
Introducing the Suzuki GSX-R 600 2008. Advanced, compact and efficient 600cc engine − featuring SDTV throttle body with dual-injector and S-DMS selectable mapping. Edgy, aerodynamically refined look.

A tuned chassis with race-proven geometry. The Suzuki GSX-R 600 2008. A true middleweight racer replica packed with genuine Suzuki engineering and delivering balanced performance.

It is the Suzuki GSX-R of the middleweight class, a product of Suzuki’s legendary Integrated Design approach. A machine designed and refined by a team of talented engineers working together to build a motorcycle that delivers Balanced Performance.

A revised, compact combination of chassis and engine, fitted with advanced electronics, effective suspension and radial-mount brakes to not only make more power and accelerate harder but also to handle better, with the goal being a quicker lap time around a racetrack. Packaged with exciting new styling and increased lighting and aerodynamics.

Ignore the lights and mirrors and the fact that this is also the cleanest-running four-cylinder 600cc motorcycle that Suzuki has ever built, and it’s easy to imagine the Suzuki GSX-R 600 2008 rolling directly out of a race shop.

• Updated compact and lightweight 599cc 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine designed with increased performance and responsiveness in mind

New Chassis

• Aggressive new overall design features a well balanced combination of compactness with the high performance look of a Suzuki GSX-R
• Lightweight Tokico single piston rear brake caliper is mounted on a new rear caliper bracket for ease of maintenance when removing the rear wheel or working on the rear brake
• New diecast aluminum seat rail features an updated two piece design for reduced weight
• New electronically controlled steering damper uses a solenoid valve to move a tapered needle reducing or increasing oil flow to adjust damping force.
• New fuel tank features a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 inspired design and fuel capacity is increased to 17 liters
• New lightweight cast aluminum wheels featuring a new angled spoke design for improved rigidity, reduced unsprung weight and improved acceleration
• New three headlight layout features a projector low beam and multi-reflector headlamps for left and right high beams creating improved light distribution
• Sharp new bodywork design features an aggressive new look featuring a bold new headlight design and new angular tail section for the new Suzuki GSX-R 600 2008

Chassis Features

• An aluminum-alloy frame utilizing five cast sections is engineered to deliver the ideal balance of rigidity for improved handling and less weight
• Braced aluminum alloy swingarm is rigid with a large swingarm pivot and the swingarm assembly is designed for optimum suspension feedback and rear wheel traction
• Innovative rear suspension linkage features a forged aluminum alloy link and one piece forged aluminum alloy link rod designed to increase traction and reduce side loads
• Inverted 41mm Showa front forks are fully adjustable for rebound, compression and preload settings with optimum rake and trail dimensions for incredible cornering performance.
• New three way adjustable footpegs now feature die-cast construction and can be moved into three different positions with a 14mm horizontal and vertical range
• Radial mount four piston front brake calipers works with new lightweight 310mm front brake rotors and a revised front brake master cylinder
• Showa 46 mm aluminum alloy rear shock features a 16mm rod and is completely adjustable for rebound, high and low speed compression and preload damping
• The compact lightweight instrument cluster features a step motor controlled analog tach, LCD speedometer, dual tripmeters, clock, fuel reserve and a gear position indicator
