Motorcycle specifications Suzuki600 GSX-R 2004 Little sister

the last 600 to evolve at the end of the year, the GSX-R is a clone of the 750. The frame is identical, the engine very similar (downsized), the looks almost the same, and it boasts virtually the same dimensions. Weight has been trimmed everywhere, especially on the crankcases, fuel injection and exhaust. The valves are now made of titanium and weigh 92g less. The work on the injection system and muffler alone has saved over 1kg. The smallest member of the family is once again the lightest sportbike, on a par with the Kawa ZX-6RR, claiming 161 kg. The engine benefits from the same modifications as the 750 to produce 120 hp. On the chassis side, we've improved everything that could be improved: reinforced swingarm, inverted fork, front brake master cylinder piston and radial-mount calipers.Frame and swingarm painted black for that MotoGP look, and off I go to the starting grid with no trepidation whatsoever. The weight-cutting in the engine's nooks and crannies is clearly noticeable: revs seem more vigorous. At 9,000 rpm, the mill furiously sends out its 120 horsepower. The bike is as agile and precise as the previous model, with a bonus for the suspension. They react much better on the track. Combined with a riding position that's far less extreme than the competition, the GSX-R combines decent everyday use with time-hunting. While it retains the (relative) versatility of its predecessor, it also perpetuates the tradition of a certain lack of bite under braking. But with a little more effort, you'll find supersport-like power and consistency. Add to this a dashboard complete with shiflight, a little space in the trunk and you have the most user-friendly 600 supersport on the market. A few minor finishing touches remain to be fine-tuned, but the quality of the equipment easily makes up for them.
