In 2001, Suzuki released the third generation of the GSX-R600 – the big news was the addition of fuel injection, which helped bump horsepower up to 115 at 13,000 rpm. In addition, Suzuki’s engineers were able to shave 25 pounds of weigh from the previous generation.
It was a much needed update – MCN said, “As other sports 600s were creeping ahead, Suzuki looked as if it would be left for dead. And then they came up with this Suzuki GSX-R600. Slimmed down, firmed up and with power and torque figures to raise front wheels as well as eyebrows, the new Suzuki GSX-R600 was an absolute storm. New fuel injection was super smooth, even low down. This Suzuki GSX-R600 is a masterpiece.”
This example is VIN: JS1GN7BA512108287. The seller bought it as a project from noted RC30 tuner Jim Granger through an Iconic Motorbikes auction in November of last year. “There are so many details that I went through on this bike as my intention was to keep it and use it for track days, CMRA racing in the “Old Guys” class here at Hallet in Tulsa and down in Texas.”
