Motorcycle specifications SuzukiGSX-F 600 2007 A no-nonsense tourer
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.
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.

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 ;) Rating : 5/5 Respond to Jerry
i have just changed from a ninja 1100 150hp... Rating : 5/5 Respond to alex
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! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Rémi
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 ;-)

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). Rating : 5/5 Respond to samy
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!
V à tous et faites attention à vous sur la route!!!! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Julien
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 Rating : 5/5 Respond to podawan
Bonne route à tous et à tous Rating : 5/5 Respond to Guillaumed
to recommend for a first bike
Bonne route........ Rating : 5/5 Respond to rapido50
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!
