Positioned in Suzuki's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2002 Suzuki GSX-R 600 utilizes a 599 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 67.0 x 42.5 mm (2.6 x 1.7 inches) with a 12.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the GSX-R 600 measures 163 kg (359 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
