The Suzuki GSR600 is a 599cc 16v in-line four motorcycle that was introduced in 2004 as a middleweight street-bike built with the 2005 GSXR-600 engine. The engine is re-tuned for more usable midrange power as well as higher torque, making it an easy beginner bike as well as a practical commuter bike. Fully adjustable rear suspension (rebound and compression) and radical streetfighter-styling makes it a novelty amongst its class. This bike is a popular choice for its upright & wide seating position, as well as its underseat exhaust. This, plus an array of other features, including a gear-position display and wide dashboard, makes it very popular in Europe as well as Asian motorcyclists. Although given a ‘sporty’ design, the motorcycle is capable of handling sport-riding, city commuting as well as touring. A variety of aftermarket options have been marketed in Europe and Japan to allow owners to convert the motorcycle into various ‘modes’, such as aftermarket exhausts systems for sport-riding, pannier / topcase luggage systems for touring and daily commuting.In 2001, Suzuki unveiled a new concept bike named the B-King (or Boost-King). With a tuned GSXR-1300 Hayabusa engine and compact turbocharger as well radical design for a street bike, it left a major impression to motorcycle enthusiast everywhere. However, the B-King did not hit production (although it finally did in 2007). Instead, the GSR600 a stripped-naked bike was unveiled in December 2005, with the tag of “Modern Art meets Race Technology”. With a very similar design styling, it was initially nicknamed the “Baby B-King” or “Baby King”. It was believed that this model was intended to replace the aging Bandit series. Initial reviews were mixed, with a few riders indicating it failed to live up to its design roots and is over-styled. However, as more owners present their reviews, it was apparent the motorcycle has gained a generally positive reception, mostly on its practical engine performance as well as its comfort. Parts normally reserved for higher-end flagship models but incorporated into this motorcycle (such as the 4-pot Tokiko brake system used also on the GSX-R600 series) further increased its acceptance.
