Suzuki took a beating in last year’s AMA and WSBK Supersport championships. The best they managed in the World championship was a lowly 8th place. They are determined to fix that this year with an all-new GSX-R 600. This year's Supersport Gixxer comes with an all-new Engine Control Module which controls the fuel injection system and allows the rider to control the engine mapping from a switch on the ‘bars. The Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber has a new shape, which Suzuki say
will "reduce shrouding of intake valves at low lift, enhancing cylinder charging and thus increasing power output." Combined with more efficient intake ports and castings with thinner, lighter walls, an increase in compression ratio from 12.5:1 to 12.8:1 and a whole host of engine modifications for 2008, we should see a challenge from Suzuki this year.Also heavily modified, is the exhaust system, introduced to comply with new emission regs, the triangular shaped stubby pipe takes some getting used to aesthetically. The frame is basically y=the same as last year, but Suzuki have managed to shave a few grams off – literally, 128 grams, by switching to a die cast aluminum subframe. Every little helps, I guess. Repositioned ram-air intakes and a new headlight assembly complete the changes. Whether it’s going to be quick enough to take on Honda’s CBR 600 or more importantly, Yamaha’s all-new YZF-R6 remains to be seen.
2008 Suzuki GSX-R 600 Specs
It’s a nice enough looking bike, but I can’t help thinking that if I was in the market for a sports bike, I would be buying a GSX-R 750 instead. Suzuki have consistently missed the mark with their 600, but the 750 and 1000 are always bang on. I just can’t see this new model beating the Honda in a straight fight, either on the road or the track, and Yammies new 600 looks a killer this year. Time will tell. With the AMA dropping the Supersport series in 2009, this is Suzuki’s last chance to do something clever.
Colors for this year are black, white, yellow and the usual blue. I must say it looks good in white and Suzuki are pushing the boat out with some cheap finance deal through both their website and the dealers.
I certainly hope the 2008 model performs better than last years – on the track at least. And just in case you missed them last time, here's another Suzuki Corona girl for your viewing pleasure. Maybe she can persuade you to buy one, although this one looks like she’s had more work than the bike.

I just love bikes Mr M - I used to race them in my younger days - I have always owned bikes and have had many in the past. Thank you for the compliments.
I used to love bikes but unfortunately the wheels and me always end up horizontal!! so i just pop in n out for the ladies;)
It's been known to happen to me, LOL
Twice bitten three times shy!! im too fragile these days to crash any more!!
I still hurt from the last one. Won't stop me from riding though.
Nice...err.. bike. ;)
Great HUB!
regards Zsuzsy
Nice hub you know your stuff about these bikes.
I have a 550 back in the day it was super fast
Thanks coolbreeze - and after I slated you too.
LOL - compusmart you made me laugh. My husband has taken one too many spills on these things! All of which I had to nurse him back to "health." It's funny now, but not at the time. And he still won't give them up.
The new R6 is gorgeous. I hope my husband doesn't see it (although he probably already has). I would love to get on one, but I still need to learn how to ride. I can, however, drive a stick so I'm halfway there...I think!
I'm definately with you on the GSX-R 750. I'm just waiting for them to come available so I can own one of my own. My only problem is I wish Suzuki would balance the price a little better. At least place the 750 halfway between the 600 and 1000, not more than halfway.
hey im looking on purchasing a 600 cc bike was just wondering if you can help me out with witch one as the best handling out of the zxr 600 cbr rr 600 r6 and the gsxr 600 thank you
You would be hard-pushed to tell the differnce on the road, but I would say the Yamaha is sharpest and the Honda most user friendly :)
