Motorcycle specifications SuzukiGSX-F 600 2006 A no-nonsense tourer

presentation of the GSX-F 600 2006

The 600 GSX-F is a well-behaved motorcycle, not at all turbulent. It's also the only 600 on the market with a fairing. Its strange look and distinctive taillight add a touch of personality to this very "bio-design" plastic bike, an exact replica of the 750. The low, sunken seat and fairly smooth engine, combined with the machine's balance, make for a reassuring ride. The somewhat sporty riding position encourages you to take to the open road, rather than suffocating in town. The engine, like all 4-legged 600s, is short of breath at low revs. You'll have to work hard at higher revs to get the most out of it.

InsuranceSpecificationsGallery

the chassis lacks the rigor of a state-of-the-art sports bike, but the GSX-F allows you to ride at a good pace, demonstrating great stability in fast, sweeping curves. An old-fashioned machine should be ridden the old-fashioned way: a sporty ride will require a little anticipation to adjust the machine's suspension. Suspension and braking aren't extraordinary, but they're good enough for leisurely use (there's the GSX-R if you want to let off some steam...). If you want to get started on a touring bike without blowing your wallet, the 600 GSX-F is a good choice, especially as it's available in a 34hp version.
in 2004, the taillight was replaced by a wiser model, similar to that of the 750 in 2003, in very GSX-R colors.

Problème compteur kilométrique

Aymeric Model 1998

Hello, I've come to ask you for an opinion. I've just been out for a ride with my 1996 600 gsxf and while I'm driving my speedometer has fallen to 0km/h but the engine speed rpm counter is working 03/14/2024 15:46 Rating : 3/5 Respond to Aymeric

Jerry Model 2002

A big plus for A2 license holders: it's compatible! Clamping kits are available for this model, and in 2020 I was charged just over €300 for clamping at Suzuki Shift'R in Ronchin (59 - Nord)

It's versatile, comfortable to drive, has decent power (it goes up to 170km/h on the odometer, despite the clutch) and can do a good 0-100km/h in under 5 seconds, so it's a "calf" once clutched... It's easy to see why the government limits your power for two years, isn't it? Even if I think it's stupid because there's no increase in power, it's "full choice" after that period (personally, I had a Honda 1100 XX Super Blackbird when I left A2: 164 hpx) but hey, I'm a phlegmatic motorcyclist, that changes everything!

Anyway, to get back to the bike, if you're looking for a low-budget Sportivo-GT (or GT-Sport) that's a lot of fun, you'd be better off with the GSXF 600. It's reliable, economical, reasonable to insure, and there's a plethora of spare parts on the Net! What's more, it doesn't seem to suffer from any particular design flaws..

Sufficient fairing protection, average fuel consumption of just 6l/100km (or even less for those who ride quietly), pleasant air penetration, a seat height to suit most people and a comfortable riding position are just some of its many advantages! With a GSXF 600, you're guaranteed pleasure at a low price ;) 09/26/2022 23:39 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Jerry

Antho Model 1999

Good bike to get used to, comfortable, strong engine, easy mechanics, soft at low revs, braking is sufficient at low speed but requires anticipation at higher speeds. Top speed pretty good (230 on mine, and all original). I'd recommend this bike to all beginners, as it's easy to maintain, inexpensive to buy and maintain, and easy to insure. 07/24/2016 17:53 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Antho

Manug30 Model 2006

I've owned this machine for two years, and I'm quite satisfied with it. MOTOPLANETE's comments are absolutely true. I was looking for a tourer, and this Suzuki is perfect for that. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy themselves, but without breaking the bank. That's what it's made for.... 03/23/2014 23:31 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Manug30

daco Model 1998

i've had a 1997 gsxf600 for a few days now, I brought it home on the road for 140km, everything was fine including the idle, when I got home I stopped the engine for 15 minutes, then I started it up again and the idle started to turn too fast,i adjust the throttle, no reaction, but I haven't yet dared to adjust the carburettor because you have to dismantle the fairing to reach it. Could you give me some advice on how to proceed with the adjustment or tell me if it's another cause (e.g. shock)? 03/19/2014 14:30 Rating : 2/5 Respond to daco

vds56 Model 1998

I bought this bike in May 2012, and today, 4 months later and 5,000 km more on the odometer, I'm still just as happy with it! It's comfortable enough despite my height (1.91m), and its road-going qualities are undeniable! Admittedly, the engine is a little hollow below 6,000 rpm, but there's plenty of fun to be had if you push the gears a little. As for its looks, in its black dress it's sublime, and the icing on the cake is that it's not a bike you'll come across very often, which makes a change from the Bandits and other Zs! 09/12/2012 08:18 Rating : 4/5 Respond to vds56

mick85 Model 1998

i've got a '99 model with 45,000 km on the clock, sublime in its black-blue dress with gold rims. despite the miles, there are no problems, the only drawback being the shock absorber (not easy to adjust for the duo) and the side keel (watch out for falls when stationary). otherwise, it's a pleasure to get out and about, as well as for cooler journeys. on the maintenance side, there's nothing to say except that the fairings aren't easy to put back together. 02/11/2011 11:09 Rating : 5/5 Respond to mick85

Rémi Model 1998

Well folks, the penultimate post was indeed mine. It's been 9 months since my gsx-f was unbridled. Going from 34 to 80 hp changes everything! With my brand-new Pilot road 2s, it's as if I've changed bikes. You get a bit of a kick in the ass after 7000rpm (where the engine chokes on the flange). For the record, I get 230km/h (odometer) and it's original
I've done several acceleration tests against a 650sv, the sv gets a head start right from the start but I've always caught up after about 150km/h ^^
It's true that braking is sluggish, so you have to be careful not to get caught. Otherwise, it's great for cornering, and that's all it needs (without being a sports car)
I highly recommend it for a young licence holder, this bike is brilliant! 07/28/2010 21:54 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Rémi

migaru Model 1998

after 1 year and 20 thousand kilometers with it (work, travels and arsouilles) i can say that it is a good brele^^

it runs well even if the footrests rub quickly, it doesn't rev too badly, it even "screams its mother". the fuel consumption is reasonable for long trips (5.5l/100 on a 500 km trip) so you can easily do 250km before the reserve ... the position is nice, you can feel the front end ... the fork is a bit soft despite the hardest setting ... maintenance is pretty easy even if the fairings are a pain to remove ... but ... the brakes aren't long-lasting at all ... it's a real pleasure to ride ... it's a real pleasure to ride!

but...the braking isn't very durable at all...it's a bit heavy, so the front tire (I used pilot road 2) takes a beating in sporty driving...it's not very forgiving, so choose your trajectory carefully...fuel consumption is easy to achieve at 12l/100...oh yes, the center stand is hard to put on...

i'd say it's a good bike to start with and then move on to a sportbike. In comparison, it's less powerful than a Fazer on every level, but it's still not bad ^^ It looks good and you don't see it everywhere ;-)

Rami Model 1998

ahu! I've had a 600gsxf with 20000km for a year and 3 months, 1 year and 3 months of flange at 34 pony... as far as the cycle part is concerned, it's fine, but as far as the flange is concerned.... For me, it's a real frustration to feel the engine blow up after 6000rpm, I'm struggling to take a 150 (and in 4th gear otherwise it loses speed -_-). the duo is really "heavy" because of this damn flange. it's going crazy. Still 10 months and 13 days to go. (apart from this bridle, I'm quite happy with it! ^^). 11/14/2008 23:35 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Rami

samy Model 1998

hi everyone!
I've had a 2003 600 gsxf since last summer and have already clocked up over 10,000km on it. It's a real pleasure to drive, very maneuverable in curves despite its weight, and very fuel-efficient (230km on a full tank). 05/23/2008 21:35 Rating : 5/5 Respond to samy

Julien Model 1998

I have a 2001 gsxf with 32,000 km and 1200 km on it
For me it's great, I think it's better than a 600 bandit. the chassis is more solid, the suspension well adjusted, good protection, etc.
On the other hand, the brakes are just right (you're going to have to fit hoses) and the rear tire doesn't go with the style of the bike (especially as there aren't any good tires in this size)
Finally, to have fun, it's great, yesterday I took 235/240 on the freeway, and this afternoon I'm fitting a Leovince sbk carbon pot... I'm going to have a blast!

podawan Model 1998

owner of a 2005 gsx600f for 1 year and over 7000 km on the wheels
fault
-the brakes are a bit soft, especially when riding a duo
-original tires
-original engine tuning
quality
-comfort alone or in duo
-front and rear shock absorber adjustment
-torque "after changing the exhaust pipe, air filter and carburetor"
-roadholding "after changing tires"
-fairing protection
conclusion; for a first bike, it's a blast, just so you know, I ride with a friend who rides a 600 cbr and I'm not ridiculous on small roads when you start to open up
PS: I pushed my gsxf to 240 km/h 03/24/2007 17:54 Rating : 5/5 Respond to podawan

Guillaumed Model 1998

I've had my 600 GSX-F since October 2006, it's from 2003, I got it at 3610km, I'm now at 6000km, it's my first bike and I don't regret it. MAAF insurance, the only one that took me for a little over 1000euros/year in all risks... Easy enough to get used to (300km the first day to bring it back...), needs a few kelkes km to get to know it better (like any bike), very pleasant to ride. good performance, 190km/h at full throttle and it kept going up... very good position and easy to handle. I'm starting to get to know it a bit and I'm starting to enjoy it..

JCdu14 Model 1998

V to all! I've been the proud owner of a gsxf600 for 3 months and 2500km later I can say it's a great bike all the same! Granted, I've got my own saddle for comfort and a high bubble, so I don't know what it's worth without it! Otherwise, even with 34hp (snif) there's plenty to enjoy and a few scares! As for me, I still managed to reach 165km/h, but in the limende position lol! I'd recommend it as a first bike if you're a road rider who likes to get out and about in comfort! Between you and me, it's a nice change from the bandit bikes you see everywhere, and it's got an atypical look! See you soon on the road! V 02/23/2007 12:16 Rating : 5/5 Respond to JCdu14

Hello GSX-F enthusiasts,

I've just bought one as my first bike, and the first 130 km were a real treat
It's easy to get to grips with and you quickly feel at ease on the handlebars
Strangely enough, I'm really looking forward to going to work tomorrow...

Bonne route à tous!

maxthemad Model 1998

i've had one for a year, model 2001, and I've had no problems whatsoever, it's easy enough to get used to and there are no surprises. the power rating is not bad, but there's enough to give you a few scares, in short, there's nothing to complain about except the side keel, which isn't great, the insurance is similar to that of a bandit for a lower purchase price and incomparable ease of use, the fairing protects well up to 150 km / h. 12/01/2005 20:46 Rating : 5/5 Respond to maxthemad

i've had one for over a year. It was a 34 hp until I turned 21 (i.e. two weeks ago). To start with, I think it's a very good bike (only the insurance is a bit expensive) and now I'm discovering it from another angle, which isn't bad at all. 07/13/2005 18:16 Rating : 5/5 Respond to jo
