2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 Features
Engine Features
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.
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
Showa Big-Piston front Fork
Race-developed, lightweight Showa Big Piston front-Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance.
Rear Shock
Single Showa rear shock features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height.
Chassis Features
Twin-spar aluminum cradle frame
Lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum cradle frame made of five cast sections and cast swingarm.
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.
Front Brakes
Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs and radial-mounted, four-piston Brembo monoblock calipers.
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.
Steering Damper
Electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force on the racetrack and at highway speeds.

Re: 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 - COOL WALL VOTE: In Progress
I just went through the update for this one... Wow they redesigned almost everything on this thing!
Oh and keep in mind they managed to shave 20 lbs off of this from 2009. That's absolutely stunning when you sit down and think about what you can pull off and keep it street legal/noise compliant/EPA compliant/affordable.

I don't know why but GSXRs have never appealed to me. In fact, despite owning a ton of bikes, I have never owned a Suzuki.
My friend has a GSXR1000. He says it's a great bike but he misses his ZX10R. He says the Kawi was just so raw and so fun to ride. The Gixxer in contrast lacks "personality" that the Kawi had in abundance.
It's still an amazing bike, so I voted cool.

Re: 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 - COOL WALL VOTE: In Progress
A great bike without a doubt, but seriously uncool. Its the bike that every noob and wanna-be boy racer wants to have and will get by hook or by crook. That alone makes its seriously uncool.....and it would be the bike that Jeremy Clarkson would ride if he ever decided to stop his hate on for bikes.
Always ask why.

Re: 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 - COOL WALL VOTE: In Progress
I honestly think GSX-Rs just don't have the extra quirk that keeps other bikes in their own cliche. Yamaha has it's super peaky powerband and race-track oriented everything. Kawi has it's looks and it's own powerband personality. Honda has it's pesky electronics and beautiful engines. Beemer has it's very odd looks, very high price, and incredible engineering. Zuke just doesn't have that extra something other than styling cues.

The definitive 600cc supersport. Awesome by all accounts. However, the GSXR750 is very close in price.

Yeah I read recently in Cycle World that for $400 more, most of the staff would pick the 750.Superfly3176 wrote:The definitive 600cc supersport. Awesome by all accounts. However, the GSXR750 is very close in price.
