[edit] History

The GSX-R600 was first launched in 1992 with a water-cooled 599cc inline-4 engine. The first model had the same body specifications as the 1992 GSX-R750, with the smaller engine and carried over through to the 1993 model year with no changes.

For the years between 1994 and 1996 the GSX-R600 was not produced before being redesigned and relaunched in 1996 with the introduction of SRAD (Suzuki Ram Air Direct), which carried through to the year 2000.

2001 saw a redesign with the introduction of fuel injection to the model.

The current 2008 model is a complete redesign from previous years, with the introduction of new features and general improvements to the motorcycle.
