One ride on the Suzuki GSX-R600 and you'd swear that it was engineered by rocket scientists. And, actually, you wouldn't be far off, because the GSX-R600 is an incredible example of advanced technology dedicated to high performance.
Every one of the 2005 GSX-R600's features has been tested and proven on the toughest proving ground of all - the racetrack. It's come out of this experience with a variety of designs straight out of the factory racing department. Titanium valves. An incredibly effective ram-air intake system. The innovative Suzuki Dual Throttle ValveTM digital fuel injection and engine management system. Together, these engineering masterpieces give the GSX-R600 a meaty powerband, incredible acceleration and flat-out amazing top-end performance.
The GSX-R600's chassis and suspension are engineered to let you fully exploit its engine performance. Its twin-spar aluminum alloy frame has optimum rigidity for precise responsiveness in low-speed cornering, combined with rock-solid stability at racetrack speeds. Its advanced suspension, front and rear, helps it react with superb precision to your input. And its streamlined bodywork lets you slip through the wind with maximum efficiency. Put it all together and you've got razor-sharp handling on every part of the track.
So set your sights on the best 600cc supersport bike on the track - the 2005 GSX-R600.
Pricing/Color Information
Features
All
Special 20th Anniversary colors and graphics, with a numbered Anniversary emblem on upper steering bracket, and a special ignition key

Chassis/Suspension
Aerodynamic bodywork features reduced frontal area, compact headlight/taillight and turn signals, plus a small lightweight tail section.
New-generation fuel injection system with 16-bit ECM for quick processing speed, and detailed mapping for high fuel efficiency and smooth throttle response
Compact instrument cluster features a step-motor-driven analog tach. and digital speedometer - also includes LCD odometer-tripmeters, coolant temp., clock and EFI diagnostics.
Frame geometry and swingarm length are designed for more forward weight distribution for quick turning ability, rear wheel traction and straight-line tracking - frame is lightweight and compact for optimum balance between rigidity & weight.
Cartridge-type front forks with 43mm inner tubes and fully adjustable damping and spring preload.
Fully adjustable piggy-back shock absorber features an aluminum body and heat compensation system for more consistent damping performance.
Lightweight 4-piston front brake calipers with aluminum-alloy pistons.
Engine
Compact & lightweight 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine is lightweight and compact.
Cylinder head features a narrow 28° included valve angle (13° intake, 15° exhaust), creating a more compact combustion chamber, higher compression ratio and a straighter intake tract for improved power.
Throttle body design positions the injectors at a steep 60° angle for an optimum fuel spray pattern and fuel atomization, increased power and sharp throttle response.
Suzuki Dual Throttle ValveTM System (SDTV) maintains more accurate air velocity in the intake tract for smooth low-to-mid rpm throttle response and improved engine torque.
Specially shaped ram-air intake ducts feed a large 8 liter airbox and flat-panel air filter for optimum intake airflow.
One-piece cylinder block and upper crankcase section form a strong, lightweight structure that eliminates the need for external oil lines to the cylinder head.
Durable SCEM-plated cylinders house lightweight forged pistons with low-tension rings to reduce friction.
Close-ratio 6-speed transmission and high capacity coil spring-type clutch.
Additional weight reduction through small diameter crankshaft journals, lightweight conrods, camshafts and narrow diameter valve stems.
Lightweight magnesium valve cover, magneto cover, drive sprocket cover, clutch cover and starter clutch cover.
