2009 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Its a great bike. I have had some problems with it. My bike had already 20 miles on the odometer and the dealer knew nothing about it. At about 400 miles the engine started knocking on a cold day at start up. This has happened twice. The bike is 3500 miles now. A recall service was done in ... summer and the engine still smells like burnt oil. I see no leaks on the bike which leads me to believe that the mechanic did a dirty job and did not clean up after the repair. Other than that the bike is good and comfortable.

I love my GSXR 600 its a beast. lol I have the white corona edition and its one of the best looking bikes out there.

This is my first bike (2010, L0, as I live in Canada and they did import this model year). I totally love it over the past 7 weeks that I've owned it. I've put about 600 kms on it, never taken it past the 8000 RPM range as I'm still breaking it in according to its schedule.

I'm about ... 165-167 cm tall, and can allllllmost flatfoot on both sides, and I don't really find it to be a problem whatsoever. When I'm stopped, I can completely flatfoot the left side and my right stays on the rear brake. I think I have a 30" inseam or so, nothing fancy or special for someone of my height. I didn't have it lowered or anything. I was originally worried about this when researching bikes to buy as my first bike, but really at this point I don't see the fuss. I would say that if you're 160 cm or shorter you MIGHT have a small issue with it, but that's just my speculation.

My first week or so I kept it in C mode, but since it defaults back to A mode, after about 1 week I forgot about it and have been riding in A ever since. Being that it was my first bike, keeping it in C mode did help me gain some confidence while getting accustomed to the power of the bike, so if this is your first bike, I recommend you do the same. You'll know when you're ready to move on.

I admit I've cranked the throttle a few times, I mean it IS a sportbike after all, and when you get to about ~6000 RPM and higher it really starts to take off. I tell people I barely touch the throttle and I'm already at speeds people have no business going... and I still have what, 3 more gears and 10000 more in the RPM range?! Damn!

I also get compliments on the bike wherever I go. People stop and take photos of it, people chat me up when I park somewhere, and people gawk at it while I'm in traffic. They tell me with their eyes that they wish they had one.

I purchased my Gixxr over three months ago. I think I got a pretty descent price on it as most dealers are really trying to get rid of their 09s. I really didn't care what year they put on it, as long as it was new and I was the one to break it in. Ended up paying $8300 + TTL. I'm almost to 2K ... on the mileage and with that here are my impressions. The ride is smooth, but the engine is quite buzzy. After a 20 mile ride averaging 70 MPH, my hands are normally asleep. I use my bike as a commuter back and forth to work. I actually enjoy hitting stop lights to shake the blood back in my hands. The bike has plenty of power and holds a line in a corner and is very light and nimble to ride. My average gas range per tank is 160 miles (47.96 mpg). The actual tank size is supposed to be 4.5 gals, but I've never been able to put more than 3.7 gals in her and that's after the low light had been flashing for 15 miles. I have a feeling the light comes on prematurely. The biggest drawback that I've had so far is that the bike will stall after sitting in the hot sun all day, normally about a block after starting my ride. I've taken it to the dealer and they said they couldn't find anything wrong, the very next ride same thing and many times since. Hopefully something a new slip-on and commander will fix. All in all I'm very happy with this purchase. I do wish suzuki would make a Gixxr in bright red or red and black vs red/orange and black (hint hint). Good luck and happy riding.

Had my Gixxer 600 for a few months now. I had hoped to get a 2010 but got a great deal on an 09. I have serviced it myself twice and ran mobile one through it.

The bike is fast as hell but seems to lack some start off power. Not that I think somethings wrong, but it needs a commander. ...

The bike is smooth and straight to ride, but makes the legs chaffe from the hard seat after riding for a while in the city.

Waiting to take a canyon trip here in Salt lake. Only have 1K on the odo, so I have lots of riding to do.

This is a great bike and very fast. Someone told me that there was a speed limiter on this bike, so I decided to test it out. I got the bike up 168 mph and it still felt like there was some juice left. So much for that theory.

first sportbike, the most comfortable bike, first time owning one, this bike makes me feel like ive been ridin them my whole life, an easy ride and confident ride, not stupidly loud, just perfect. awsome bike.

while at the dealership i was looking to buy a cbr 600 when i saw the gsx-r and fell in love with it. i own the blue/white with white rims. got about 200 miles and people love my bike everywhere i go. also its crazy fast i have not really been past the break in rpm (10 grand) and i must say the power ... is insane yeah i know 1000's and busa's have insane power but this bike is a beauty and it has power i totaly recommend it.

Awsome Bike Getting Compliments Everywhere I go, Has great Performance, great Handling, very Nice bike

I recently bought this 600 and thought that it would not measure up (in the midrange power section) to my last motorcycle which was a 2001 SV 650S and I do have to say this thing is fun to ride and being almost 40 friends were steering me in another direction saying that midrange power is not there ... until you hit the high revs on this venerable 600,

but that is not the case. A good friend of mine which is a very good rider and has been riding of more standard bikes thought I would be sorry on my purchase, despite his best instruction on a cycle purchase I continued on the 600 journey to own one and after the purchase I informed him he was way wrong on the power and all the features this bike comes with, IE: adjustable pegs, adjustable power settings, adjustable shift light, fully adjustable front and rear shocks,

and interest rate 1.99% till nov 30th, I knew I couldn't go wrong. Need less to say he called me and had alot of really good things to say after doing some research about the suzuki gsxr 600 saying that how much better this bike was compared to the competition in the 600 class.

This bike is the best looking 600 out there, I got the orange and black one and couldn't be happier.

I also think suzuki is the front runner in cycle design as compared to price and features for sure!!

On a side note you can get one cheaper than list price if you shop around even shipping from out of state is cheaper than some dealers "set-up fee" which is total crap since the manufacturer pays them to put it together from crate status.

This is my first sport bike and I love it. The ride is quick and smoth and handles well.I get compliments on my 600 every where i go.

I JUST GOT MY O9 GIXXER 600 AND HAVE ABOUT 200 MILES ON HER. ITS A ALL AROUND JUST A GREAT BIKE. ANY WHERE I GO I HAVE PEOPLE ALWAYS WAITING FOR ME TO GET OFF OF IT TO COMMENT ON HOW GREAT IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS. SO WHAT ELSE CAN U ASK FOR? NOTHING!

Do thy really cost about 10.000-13.000 dollars?

Ive had my 09 for about 600 miles and also enjoyed every mile. Took her in for the first service and wasnt to thrilled to be without her for a couple days. Easy to ride,plenty of power, turns heads

Have about 500 miles on it now and loved every single mile. This bike is quick. It is comfortable, sounds great, looks great and is easy to ride. It has been years since I rode a sport bike and within hours I was right back into it. Still breaking it in but so far it has handled everything I have ... thrown at it.

This is a great bike, light & fast with awesome race history...
