I’ve always been a cbr guy in the past. I bought my first Gixxer, a 2021 600 anniversary edition. It’s completely unlocked and tuned, 113 hp. It’s now mainly my track bike and it’s awesome. Very impressed, won’t have anything else.
Would you say its fun to drive under the speed limit or does it reach the speed limit before actually getting to the "good part? Ive been considering one and we have very strict laws on speed limits where i live.
Yeah the only other options I had was the blue. Or the Zx6r which I originally wanted but Canada is only getting the krt green which is cool but not my color.
Not just a good bike in 2023, one of the best among all the supersports. As with anything, folks will hate on it when it's here, but miss it when it's gone.
@AK Cycles eventually. The market has changed. 600's are my favorite and suit my riding needs as well as my pocket book. It was tough for me to track down my current bikes due to a shortage in production. Hopefully Suzuki and Honda keep the 600 in their line up in the coming years. I think that, inevitably, these bikes will go away in the US as they will become impossible to import due to emissions regulations and growing pressure for manufacturers to develop ev technology if they want to continue to do business in the US.
Just for a little bit more money might as well get the Gixxer 750. I absolutely love my Gixxer 750 and I'm looking at getting another Gixxer 750 for a track bike. No issues at all and always brings a smile to my face every time I ride it.
Hell yes it is-- ignore the reviews knocking it as dated from either paid motojournalists pushing BMW, Aprilia and Ducati til the end of time or people that can't actually ride a sport bike. You don't get ABS, trac control or a fancy dash... check that off the list. You do get: incredibly balanced bike with flawless handling good price, indestructible reliability, comfortable for a supersport, good power band that's streetable and thank you for listing the racing success in the stock series for all of the people harping about tech. Your MT09 Sp will get obliterated by a Gixxer600 on track and twisty, as will your RS600.
I have the same bike and thinking about upgrading too. The zx10r is calling my name though. It seems like such a bad idea though but the bike is so nice
@@Moses4510 not gonna lie I do want a liter bike too but I really want to try track days and since I commute on my bike as well the 600 would fit perfect but I was also looking at the street triple RS
@@Moses4510 yea I commute 60 miles one way and with a 600 or the triumph I’ll fill up when I get home and a liter bike would need to fill up twice as often
Oh is the GSXR600Z the ABS option? Didn't even look at the Z for info. Congrats on that bike! That's going to be gorgeous. Did you find one in stock or have to order it?
agree that's the best color scheme. I own the 2015 gsxr 750 and color scheme is identical to your gsxr 600. suzuki needs better color scheme in the new models
I've owned a 2011gsxr600 and 2015gsxr750. Both are awesome! Fun fun fun! I'd take trips to the mountains (San Francisco to Tahoe) with the 600 and noticed power loss at higher elevations so I bought the 750. Still a bit of power loss but not nearly as bad.... For me, the 750 is nearly perfect for a super sport. The only thing I wish Suzuki did differently would be to update the dashboard to a TFT display.
There is a very small difference between the 600 and 750 or even a 636 when stock, but that little bit makes a world of difference. I do believe the new 750s have an upgraded dash and some new electronics. You think it would be worth an upgrade?
One of my fav colours will remain blue over white which you can find on 2011 models. Other than that, agree the blue models are hot and grey with red rims now growing on me 😅
For me no abs, traction control, throttle by wire, Tft display ect is a great selling point for the GSXR. Less electronics to fail and just a somewhat raw machine. Yes needs a quick shifter that’s about it.

Hi AK dear, ur stand alone sitting commentary is coming in one side of my headphone, while when riding clip has stereo sound in both ears, plz fix in future videos. and congrats on ur shop. May u succeed in life man. good luck
The front headlights look the same as the older ones! I wish itd have some led headlights not halogens in 2024 and 2025. I hope theres aftermarket headlights for this. Id want some leds something bright . I do love the turn signals integrated into the side mirrors the side mirrors look like a cars 😂
Ridden a 2019 r6 was pretty dam fast same with the 2023 636 but I love my gsxr600 over those bikes I have a 2015 gsxr600 same color scheme as yours.. been having so much fun on this bike but the motor finally goes I’ll be swapping in a 750 motor for the extra power 😂
Every sportbike rider should have a 600 in the garage, even if you have a 750 or 1000/Busa or whatever else. If they dont, and they only have a really pricey bike, then they probably cant ride as well as you can.
@@akcyclesthat shiet is insane, how are we tolerating this i cant fanthom, they go to climate change meetings by planes that emit 1000x more co2, co2 was 0.3 and now is 0.4 and thats totaly normal i dont understand this shiet
It is sad to see a lot of these awesome bikes to be cancelled lol what do you have? Do you find that older gsxr 1000 or others are highly sought after now and gone up in price since you can't buy a new one where you are?
At the end of the day it’s choice. I sat on a zx6r and a cbr600 cbr1000rr zx10r and ended up buying my gsxr 600 all the power that I need comfort that I need. It also helps I bought my first bike used for 3500 so that played a big role as well 😂 I’m not ready for a liter bike personally my skills aren’t there yet.
Because real riders dont need or want traction control/ abs/ quick shifter or any electronics. We try to turn them off, bike needs to be raw old school.
Suzuki aestetics design is outdated, but thier engine is in top tier, but the design is not eye cstching compare to other japanese brands and getting left behind by europian and italian bikes
Its a good bike, but Suzuki has completely fallen behind the times with their 600 and 750. It's basically the same bike for almost a decade and a half. Power is the same, no ABS, no traction control, outdated dash, no quickshift or autoblip... And in 2023, there really is no excuse for that... They do well in races, but as far as streetbike form, its the slowest 600 out there... They are fun and reliable, but after my first 20 or so bikes having no electronics and then starting to use them on my last dozen or so bikes, I would never even consider going back. Electronics make it faster AND safer, so there is really no excuse not to have them, other than they just don't want to invest the money...
Better question is why the 750? If you want more power than a 600.....sure if that's going to be your forever bike. If you know you want to get a 1000 eventually.....just get that. The newer ones with a flip of a switch can feel like a 750 and you don't waste your time or money in the 750 range which is really not that great anymore. That new R9 is going to dominate!
Abs a auto blurr and quick shifter makes it bad no it’s a real raw bike you can ride gsxr u can ride any bike with its electronics.. who the f needs all the extra electronics telling them what to do do these ppl now know how to ride real bikes screw all the extra bs
Agreed, It is nice to have if you commute a lot get stuck in the rain and for those rare emergency situations specially as a new rider. I can't stand most the ABS systems on bikes though I like em ole schooled lol
Nor trac control if you know how to ride.... you need abs and trac control and some aids on 215 HP liter bike these days no doubt but not on a 600 lol-- the Gixxer frame and suspension is proven incredible handling and this bike loves being fully leaned over at trip digits at the track. It will run circles around a lot of these currently hyped bikes including the RS660.
Same bike since 2011 n ppl still buying them... just shows you how great it is..
