Suzuki GSR600
2006–2010

I have tried to tell the Suzuki GSR 600 model history on this page as I know it. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions. This is a growing web site, managed by one private person. All the pages are constantly under construction.

The Suzuki GSR600 was a stripped and naked middleweight roadster was, unveiled in December 2005, with a design styling insipired by the 2001 concept bike B-King. It had design cues similar to the B-King but the GSR600 wasn’t quite the monster the B-King was. The GSR600 was technically based on the GSX-R600. The chosen publicity slogan for the GSR was “Modern art meets race technology”. The GSR600 was not a racer, but it gave a formidable competition for other middleweight naked standards of the time. There compact air/oil cooled engine of the GSR600 came from the 2004 GSX-R60, with some tuning changes made for use in a relaxed naked model — a slight reduction in valves and throttle body size, steel rather than titanium valves and milder camshafts. Claimed figures were 98 hp /73,1 kW) at 12,000 rpm and 64,7 Nm (47.7 foot-pounds) of torque at 9,600 rpm. The brakes and the suspension were as good as any competitior's, the front calipers came from the GSX-R, the front fork had pre-load adjustment and the rear shock had both preload and return damping adjustment. Suzuki GSR timeline 2006 GSR 600 The first model arrived at dealerships in January 2006. The model was marketed in the following countries/market areas: United Kingdom (E2), Australia (E24) and in EU (E19). In Europe it was also available as a model with restricted power output for those with A2 driver's license (motorcycles of a power not exceeding 35 kW/47 hp. The power restricted model was called GSR600U. 2006 GSR 600 S A variant of the model, called the GSR600S or 'S'-model, was released middle of 2006. It differs from the standard model with a stock windshield, a radiator protector grill as well as carbon-fibre lamination for selected parts. 2006 GSR 400 GSR400, previously a Japanese domestic market model, became available to selected countries in the middle of 2006. It shared the frame and the dimensions with the GSR600, the only difference being the engine capacity (399cc as opposed to 599cc), a smaller exhaust outlet, narrower rpm range and a plastic protective cover on the left side of the engine. 2007 GSR 600 ABS braking system was introduced to the range between 2007 and 2008 across different markets. 2011 GSR 750 The GSR600 was replaced in 2011 with the 749cc GSR750 — a similar concept with a 2005 GSX-R750 derived engine, re-tuned for a more usable midrange at the expense of high end power. 2012 GSR 750 ABS ABS braking system was added since 2012, 2015 the model was been sold in the USA for the first time T8the GSR600 was never marketed in the USA). In 2016 the GSR750 was rebranded as the GSX-S750.
