Faced with the dazzling R6 and ultra-light CBR, the GSX-R 600 is struggling to impose its presence in Supersport competition. This new generation will change the situation ?
Always slender, always faithful to its family spirit, the 2008 GSX-R 600 does not radically change from the 2007 version. Except at the level of the fork crown, even more rapacious than before. Under its optics are integrated new air intakes which have severely migrated towards the center of the machine. As much as the 2001 GSX-Rs all looked like two drops of water, the new generations of sports Suzuki tend to assert their own personality. With this face, it will no longer be possible to confuse a 1000 with a 600 (and the 750 from which it is derived).
A few aesthetic modifications can be identified everywhere. The fairing sides change significantly, enhanced with separation notches as they approach the air intake vents. A new, longer pot extends the stilling chamber hidden under the engine (Suzuki wouldn’t have been convinced by the MotoGP-style side mini-pot?). The rear is minimally retouched but the most that we expect are obviously technological innovations. Like the 1000 GSX-R (and all Suzuki sports cars now, the 600 is equipped with the S-DMS system allowing you to select several maps. Will this system be really necessary on a 600? Ok for an overpowered 1000 where there is a big pack of cannons to manage; but on an average displacement…
An average displacement which defends itself well in terms of power with 125 horsepower. This value remains identical to the previous vintage, with however a slight improvement in torque. Which does not mean that the engine manufacturers have turned their thumbs. Anti-pollution standards have imposed more volume for the exhaust and various restrictions that eat up power. Thus, the little gex still gained horses even if it cannot be seen on the technical sheet – it will be seen much better on the track in full with an exhaust line to breathe better – We bet that Suz has also improved the mid-range availability for more efficiency and ever more pleasant availability on the road.
The good surprise comes from the price of the gex 2008. We still expected a good slap, given the strangling prices that are rife even on the 600 (the Yamaha R6 now exceeds 11,000 euros) and we discover that the 600 GSX-R is the cheapest of the supersports. It may not be the most efficient on the clock, but its price close to 10,000 euros could well cast a shadow on the friends of the class..
