Suzuki GSX-R600


The Suzuki GSX-R600 is a 600 cc class, or supersportsport bike in Suzuki's GSX-R series of motorcycles, which includes its bigger brother, the GSX-R1000. It produces about 108 bhp in its newest iteration. Of all the bikes in the supersport category, this baby gixxer is celebrated as the hooligan. It competes with the Yamaha R6 and Honda CBR600RR.
