2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 review from United States of America
"Best 600 for 2006, except for the FI light issue that Suzuki does not appear to have resolved"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
FI light keeps coming on (more than a dozen times to date), even though the dealer has inspected the problem.
General comments?
Nice looking bike, fantastic designs (exhaust, integrated turning signals in the mirrors), removable back seat.
Excellent power curve as well as torque curve.
Excellent handling and brakes.
Most comfortable 600 I have ever ridden, and I have ridden a lot. Suspension a little on the soft side, but better for street use.
Inspires more confidence than R6 or RR.
Makes you proud to own one, can't think of anything I do not like... but the check engine light that seems to affect only the 600's
Expect a recall from Suzuki on that.
