It started at racetracks far from Suzuki’s Hamamatsu, Japan headquarters. A group of dedicated Suzuki engineers on an overseas fact-finding mission wandered through paddocks and spectator parking lots, looking at motorcycles and watching races. The racers at these events didn’t have factory contracts, and were not paid to race. They came because they loved the competition, the sport, and they rode motorcycles they bought themselves. The engineers worked stopwatches, talked to riders and mechanics, filled notebooks with observations and comments. They compared what they had seen at these regional races to what was happening in the World Superbike and AMA and other national Superbike series, and with the results from endurance series in Europe and the U.S. By the time they returned to Japan, the engineers had a clear plan: Take everything Suzuki has learned from building and racing the dominating GSX-R1000 and use it to again leapfrog the would-be 600cc competition. Apply the cutting-edge technology inherent in Genuine Suzuki Engineering, and build a new middleweight machine that defines the concept, The Top Performer. In other words, produce a racer replica that delivers "the outstanding power-to-weight ratio, powerband and throttle response". A sportbike that also establishes the 600cc state-of-the-art in terms of throttle response, suspension performance, braking power. A motorcycle with the type of overall handling that inspires rider confidence and leads to quicker lap times. A machine infused with lessons from the racetrack. ---- Features  Suzuki GSXR 600 The 2006 Suzuki GSXR 600 is said to be the most advanced sports motorcycle ever made! The GSXR is Suzuki’s best-selling motorbike, and the model for 2006 is lighter, faster, more powerful, and fizzing with innovative technology. Scaled down in size but with a significant increase in power, the 2006 Suzuki GSX R 600 is now 15mm shorter in overall length, and 25mm shorter in overall height. The seat is 15mm lower than before, and the footpegs can be moved into three different positions within a 14mm horizontal and vertical angle. Read a Suzuki GSXR 600 brochure and allow yourself to be amazed at the advanced, high quality components and the improvement in overall ability, speed and handling. Built for minimal weight and maximum speed, the 2006 Suzuki GSXR 600 motorcycle has a 5% improvement in aerodynamics, with an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, wide powerband, and instant throttle response. This is a supersports bike with massive attitude and unrivalled charisma. The Suzuki GSX R 600 is a motorcycle with the type of overall handling that inspires rider confidence, based on cutting edge technology and modifications made after months of research at the racetrack. If you’re interested in buying some Suzuki GSXR parts or accessories it could boost your riding experience even more, pushing the maximum. Whichever way you look at it, the 2006 Suzuki GSXR 600 is the top performer in the new middleweight class, defining the concept and standing as a benchmark, against which, all others are compared.

 Suzuki GSXR 600 68 comments: Suzuki GSXR 600 FlakeAzz985 (6682) - Posted on 10.17.2006 the ecu will only let you do 163. yes there are ways to get around that, but as far as stock goes, its top speed is 163.
(6682) - Posted on 10.14.2006 ive got a 98’ gixxer 600 and ive done 260kph(163mph) in it and im pretty sure that the 06’ gixxer can do much better than that.
rosco (6682) - Posted on 10.12.2006 ive had my gsxr 600 k6 a few months now,am finding it difficult to wheelie,my previous k4 gixer 600 was a dodle to get the wheel up,as is my 05 r6,i find ive gota take it up2 55mph in first shut the throttle the give it full throttle again to get wheel up,anybody else have the same trouble?? as for top speeds,mine has been thrashed from day one,and recently had 174mph
SPDYGSXR6 (6682) - Posted on 10.12.2006 Yeah I will have to agree my 06 gsxr 600 the fastest its seen is 173mph in 6th gear with my shift light on which is at 15,500. I doubt that bike will go any faster which in that case does it really matter when your on a 600 which is for the curves.?. If you want to go faster get a bigger bike!!!
poe1929 (6682) - Posted on 10.11.2006 Just put a down payment on an ’07 gix 600. Pick it up next month. Anything I should keep an eye out for with the new gixxers? Are there any common probs with this bike.
NGads27 (6682) - Posted on 08.18.2006 According to Sportrider Magazine, THe 2006 Suzuki Gsxr 600 tops out at 163.3 mph.
darth yoda (6682) - Posted on 08.18.2006 the two brothers exhaust sounds really cool, but it kills the smooth lines that the gixxer has in the tail section. and micron has more power output than two bros because of their new fabrication techniques.
darth yoda (6682) - Posted on 08.18.2006 the 06 gixxer does about 165 at redline in 5th gear, ironically the same as the top speed in sixth gear, which means if you give your 600 a couple more ponies THEN it can hit redline in sixth and it will do about 188-190. and if you guys dont believe me, talk to me after you got a power commander and a micron serpent like i did. you cant talk about 6th gear redlines if you have never hit it. and if you do this and you cant hit it then you need to not weigh more than 180 like i do.
