First Look: All-New 2011 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750
October 5, 2010
Meet the all-new 2011 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750. Two motorcycles designed to Own The Racetrack.
It wasn’t by accident that the original GSX-R750 redefined the high-performance Supersport and shocked the motorcycle world when it was introduced in 1985. It was a product of integrated design, a talented group of Suzuki chassis, engine and electrical engineers making history by working together to build a more compact and lighter 750cc Supersport. With an unmatched combination of excellent throttle response, linear power delivery, strong braking, confident handling and class-leading power-to-weight ratio, it was the closest a mass-production four-stroke, four-cylinder streetbike had ever come to being a racebike with lights.
The original GSX-R set a design theme Suzuki engineers have followed with success ever since: Make the GSX-R respond to the rider and do what the rider wants, when the rider wants, how the rider wants. Concentrate on overall performance, not simple fashion. Take what is learned in professional racing, and apply it to production models in a continuous loop of engineering improvement.
In the decades since then, the GSX-R750 has consistently outperformed anything else in its class, proving the slogan, Own The Racetrack. Would-be competitors finally gave up racing against the GSX-R750, and then stopped building 750cc Supersports altogether.
And while the GSX-R750 was proving that it truly was in a class of its own year after year, the serious engineering work continued, improving and expanding the GSX-R line with the introduction of the GSX-R600.
There are still experienced riders who appreciate a state-of-the-art 750cc engine combined with the compact size of a 600cc Supersport. For those riders, the GSX-R750 delivers unmatched excitement on the street and on the racetrack, during track days and in club races alike.
But there are also knowledgeable riders who prefer a true 600cc Supersport, eligible for 600cc classes on the racetrack. For those riders, there is the GSX-R600.
Which brings us to the newest GSX-R750 and the newest GSX-R600, two outstanding Supersports developed in parallel by the same team of Suzuki engineers. Sharing race-proven advanced engine technology, with broader power delivery, improved throttle response, lower emissions and about 10% better fuel mileage as measured by Suzuki engineers using the standardized Worldwide Motorcycle Test Cycle.
Built on a more compact, 15mm-shorter wheelbase with race-developed chassis geometry, suspension and brakes, with simplified and lighter aerodynamic bodywork.
Both delivering a breathtaking combination of outstanding engine performance, nimble handling, compact size and light weight.
The newest GSX-R750 is over 17 pounds lighter, with a curb mass of 419 pounds. And the newest GSX-R600 is almost 20 pounds lighter (a staggering weight savings over the previous model) and has a curb weight of 412 pounds—giving it the class-leading power-to-weight ratio for production 600cc four-cylinder Supersports.
For some riders, the GSX-R750—The Original GSX-R—is the best choice.
For other riders, the GSX-R600—The Top Performer in its class—is the best choice.
Both are built to Own The Racetrack.
