Built around Suzuki's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2002 Suzuki GSX 600 F Katana features a 599 cc (36.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 62.6 x 48.7 mm (2.5 x 1.9 inches) with a 11.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the GSX 600 F Katana measures 208 kg (459 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
