SUZUKI GSX-Rs: SETTING HIGH STANDARDS
When Suzuki engineers first developed the GSX-R model line in the mid 1980’s, they set the standard for a generation of
racebikes that followed. Ever since then the name “GSX-R” has become a generic term for describing high-performance
motorcycles. Not surprising considering the thousands GSX-Rs sold worldwide since the model’s inception, and their
popularity at all levels of road racing. So when Suzuki engineers began working on the next generation of GSX-R
machinery for the 1996 model year, it was clearly essential for them to maintain Suzuki’s reputation for performance and
innovation. They decided on a bold plan: to develop a completely new GSX-R model line using the very latest in high-
performance technology, straight off the highly-developed RGV500 ridden by Kevin Schwantz to the 1993 500cc Grand
Prix World Championship. Once again Suzuki raised the bar for high performance motorcycles.
Always popular among street riders, Suzuki GSX-Rs really shine on the race track. Suzuki has dominated the grueling
world of endurance racing for the past decade, winning several Western Eastern Roadracing Association National
Endurance Series Championships. Suzuki GSX-R750s swept the podium on their way to winning the 1997 and 1998
AMA 750 Supersport Series championships, while the GSX-R600 nailed down the 1998 World Supersport
championship and is poised to take the AMA 600 Supersport title.

The 1999 GSX-R600 shares much of the the advanced technology that makes the GSX-R750 such a potent racing
weapon. Featuring an extremely compact, lightweight, 599cc liquid-cooled engine with double-overhead camshafts,
four valves per cylinder, and digital direct ignition, 36.5mm Mikuni downdraft CV carburetors and Suzuki Ram-Air
Direct (SRAD) induction for precise throttle response. The lightweight, rigid twin-spar aluminum frame is supported
by fully adjustable 45 mm conventional-style cartridge forks, with a fully adjustable single-shock rear suspension
system. For 1999, the GSX-R600 gets reshaped carburetor intake funnels, revised jetting, and new ignitor box
settings for improved high rpm power.
