Although it has suffered a decline in sales recently, the 600 Supersport class has been keenly contested over the last 30 years, with all of the Japanese 'Big Four' battling for supremacy in the showroom and on the racetrack. Throughout this period, Suzuki's GSX-R600 offerings have been characterised by a roominess and flexibility tailored for everyday road riding. First introduced in 1992, the GSX-R600 deployed a 599cc water-cooled four-cylinder engine in what was basically the chassis of the existing GSX-R750. That first model was never officially imported into the UK, where the more modern RF600R was the factory's offering in the 600 Supersport category. The 600 'Gixxer' then disappeared from the Suzuki range for a few years, re-emerging in 1997 in radically different SRAD form. For 2001 the model was redesigned again, receiving fuel injection, and carried on with very few changes until revamped for 2004.

Believed originally finished in blue/white, this GSX-R600 has been repainted in Rizla livery and fitted with a Yoshimura end-can. Last taxed in April 2015, the Suzuki had been dry-stored for approximately 12 months when its owner passed away in August 2020. The machine would respond well to detailing and following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C Registration Certificate and a quantity of expired MoTs.
