2006 Gsxr-600

[BioHazard]

Again from www.motorcyclenews.com.

They are claiming about 130 bhp, the 750 looks almost identical.

[GPTECHMAN]

Mine!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TreAdidas]

... wow we're throwing back to the 1990's with those colored wheels huh?

[ThreeSixT]

yeah, could have done without the blue wheels, but other than that not too shabby...

[GPTECHMAN]

Dont hate.....Dem Blue Tomahawk Tires Will Be Mighty Nice On Dat Der Crotch Rocket

[deathblow]

Very nice! It is weird how they put the rear brake caliper on top of the swingarm, wonder why they changed that? Looks like they went with a tank cover also. Color matched wheels are a plus :).

I have to disagree... You need orange t-hawks. Don't believe me? Orange and blue are complimentary colors.. It will be all messed up if you don't.... LOOK AT THE COLOR WHEEL and learn your color theory... geeze...

First of all, that caliper location on the older ones is kinda of a pain. I think that I would like the placement to be on top, just for the purpose of changing wheels.
I bet its not a tank cover, looks to me like its still going to be a "real tank", not like those other sissy bikes :rolleyes:

[GixxerDemon55]

That bike looks good....I see they made the exhaust shorter

[Philo]

Mine!!!!!!!!!!!!


You have chosen.............wisely
:thumbsup:

[deno]

so many contours and colors kinda makes me dizzy looking at it. I think it would look good in a solid color to make it appear less clutered.

[247BlackOut]

Mine!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 to that sexy sexy looking bike

[GPTECHMAN]

I think its the wheels that I am unsure of....If the wheels were black I think it would be cool

[HondaRider22]

[ThreeSixT]

[MarcCBR]

Even though I'm a Honda man, I have to admit it I like it. I like that exhaust too looks real nice.

Since when do you care about the way bikes look, chuckie? Aren't you part of Arnie's J.R.T.F.T club? Coincidentally, Arnold is posting the 06 R6 in every 06 thread for comparison. When will the hypocracy end, I tell ya.

Frickin sellout. :rolleyes:






(P.S. Arnold can I sneak a ride on the new R6 or what dood???)

More information, from RRW:

All Suzuki has officially released on the 2006 GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 are a couple of photos and short specification sheets, but careful examination of the photos and conversations with sources within Suzuki indicate that both bikes will come with many revisions for 2006.

First, what has not changed. The bore and stroke of the GSX-R600 will still be 67.0 x 42.5mm, but the GSX-R750 will get a new bore x stroke of 70.0 x 48.7mm in 2006, versus 72.0 x 46.0mm in 2004/2005.

Like in 2004/2005, the two bikes will share a nearly-identical chassis.

The engines of both bikes have been shortened front-to-rear by stacking the transmission shafts in a more triangulated layout with the crankshaft. This, combined with a new, tighter-fitting frame, will allow the wheelbase to remain 1400mm (55.1-inch) while gaining a longer swingarm.

Front geometry has been revised with more rake (23.8° vs. 23.25°) and trail (97mm vs. 93mm), while the inverted Showa forks will get TiN-coating and the front brake rotors will grow from 300mm to 310mm in diameter, like on the GSX-R1000.

The GSX-R600/750 platform has also gone through a mass centralization process. It is believed that the fuel tank now sits in a more vertical attitude, similar to the Honda CBRs, with the front of the traditional fuel tank location dedicated to the airbox, which is said to contain dual-injectors per cylinder and larger throttle bodies (40 vs 38 mm) for the 600. The GSX-R750 will stick with its 42mm throttle bodies. A new exhaust system is located almost completely under the engine with only an outlet, not a complete canister, sticking out under the right footpeg. The new exhaust arrangement will most likely save weight and increase aerodynamic efficiency.

Expect the new GSX-Rs to get larger radiators, to come with slipper-clutches, to weigh less and to cost more, but don’t expect to see them in dealerships until February or March of 2006.

I think the exhaiust looks really clean, they definitely made a good move by making it smaller, and the tail section looks good too. The wheels are a little bling bling, Jared's version is a bit better

[GPTECHMAN]

I think that it kinda sucks that they didnt change the engine, think it will definitely be underpowered in comparison to the yamaha(most likely candidate of BOTY) :(

The hypocracy will end once you realize:

1)that you say more old man pervert jokes toward Mike and any other HC members :jackoff:
2)loosen up those elbows to prevent you crashing-(Ben Spies elbows locked dirt-track-style)
3)JRTFT isn't a club, it's a way of life! :thumbsup:

Yes, I'm old and twisted (some interpret it as perversion), but I guess it takes a certain type of sense of humor to appreciate it...or maybe I'm the only one laughing. Good enough.

Elbows are loose, hope everyone else's is too. :thumbsup:

JRTFT is a joke when the two biggest promoters are critical of aesthetics vs. functionality on the 06 bike threads. That's right...I said it, you non-tortilla-bringin'-scurred-of-Allan-rider-of-an-overheating-6RR. :roflmao:

Back on the subject: Jare'd's version is definitely a lot better. :thumbsup:
