Suzuki GSX-R600

...reviews. This is mainly because Suzuki concentrated on the handling and power delivery of the bike, rather than looks and general town riding. It is because of this that the GSX-R gets a much more rugged appearance compared to the CBR, R6 or ZX6. The ‘Gixxer’ as it is commonly known, comes with a steering damper and rear seat cowl as standard, which is an advantage over the other bikes. The steering damper makes the front end a lot more stable at ...
...£80 when buying individually, so Suzuki do their customers a favour by throwing it in as part of the bike. The Suzuki has a huge amount of under-seat storage space. Once the pillion seat is removed, there is enough space to fit 2 cans of trade size WD40, a disposable camera, mobile phone, a tool kit and waterproof trousers. This is a particular scenario that I was once faced with, but you get the idea. The CBR had a lot of room, but I was shocked ...

Review of Suzuki GSX-R600

Well what can I say the GSXR 600 K5, probabaly one of the best of the series. I got mine for £5000, second hand 3 months old 400 miles on the clock, the bloke I got it from was scared of it, wanted a quick sale to buy a bandit 600 again. WHY???? A beautifully well balanced machine pushing out about 110 to 115 bhp and a top speed of about 155-160mph. (I have had 153mph out of mine, tested and tagged in a speed trap). This machine will take your licence ...
...the exhaust without worring about setting up the carbs, I love electronic ingition and injection valves. The bike does the work for you. Petrol tank holds about 17 litres, waring light comes on when your getting low, I was 20 miles away from a petrol station and got there ok so plenty of time when the light does come on. The clock is digital display nice and large figures. Change the steering damper if you want the stock ones are ok but I prefer ...

Review of Suzuki GSX-R600

This little beauty was the first 4 stoke ive owned. I had a break of a few years after riding rev happy tuned 2 strokes, so I decided to go for a light weight 600…. the best on the market was the Gixxer 6. Speed is fantastic, if your not used to speed beware this little baby WILL catch you out. Riding around town for the first week of ownership hurt, I got incredible pain in my wrists and the base of my back felt as if it had fused every ...
...have to give the radical riding position a chance you will get used to it. Riding long distance can be as painful, because the bike is “revvy” you will find that the Gixxer can be quite hard work to ride on both long and short distances but this doesn’t matter because when you use the bike for the purpose it was designed (Scratching and going fast) it comes into its own. Out and out speed is unreal, my top indicated speed so far ...

...she likes the additional speed and the fantastic blue and white Suzuki colours, and the seat itself is generous and comfortable for pillions - but she is very high up on the bike, able to look over my head, and she isn't that tall, with the inevitable consequences for handling. ...

Review of Suzuki GSX-R600

I have rode my gsxr600 k5 now since March 05, both on the road and on track. This bike is without a doubt a track based machine,and handles way beyond my abilities as a rider. Lacks some power when dealing with the big Thou's but with some effort can just about stick in there, knee down wheel in the air is aregular on the track. With awesome stopping power on this newer model.Awesome power delivery,and what a scream from the exhaust. Corners like ...

Review of Suzuki GSX-R600

I'VE HAD THIS BIKE ALSO AND YES ITS IS AS MAD AS A BOX OF FROGS, BUT I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE I ONCE HAD A GSXR 1100, AND MY GOD IT WAS FAST BUT AS I'M ONLY 25, IT WAS TO HEAVY FOR ME, I DROPPED IT A FEW TIMES AND JUST TOO HEAVY.. BUT I NEXT BOUGHT THE GSXR 600 AND I WAS VERY SUPRISED AS IT DOES AVERYTHING AN 1100 DOES BUT ALOT MORE LIGHTER AND IT HANDLES LIKE ITS ON RAILS, IT WAS LIKE THE BIKE WAS TAKING ME FOR A RIDE OUT. I WENT TO SKEGNESS ON IT AND IT WAS REALLY COMFORTABLE, AND GOOD RIDING POSITION, YOU CAN THROW IT ROUND CORNERS, ITS A FEATHER WITH A JET ENGINE. OH AND VERY GOOD ON PETROL. ...
