2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 Revealed

American Suzuki surprised the industry last year by deciding not to import 2010 streetbikes while it tried to clear inventory in a depressed market. But for 2011, it's rebounding in a big way with the introduction of a comprehensively reworked GSX-R600 and its identical-twin brother, the GSX-R750.

The GSX-R series is integral to Suzuki, so the Gixxer 600 and 750 received a major investment in technology and updates.

"We built our brand from the GSX-Rs," said Steve Bartolamedi, American Suzuki's senior communications manager. More than 300,000 Gixxers have been sold over the years, and the GSX-R600 has long been America’s best-selling sportbike.

How can a 600 & a 750 be "identical twins" as reported in the article? :scratch
Some editing.

Physically they're almost indistinguishable. Same size, same ergos.

The only noticeable difference from a static physical standpoint is that the 750 weighs a bit more.

Riding is very different, I'm sure. Big difference in power and torque.

^^^I agree with you about the price. 11.5 & 12k seem high for the 600/750 throw in tax etc... and your in the mid 12's:sad

I've always been a gsxr guy, but I think they'll need to bring their pricing down to stay competitive? In theory I can buy a new ducati 848 evo for 13k or the new agusta f3 675 for 13-14k. Granted not everyone is into euro bikes, but 12k for a 600 seems ridiculous & your now into liter bike pricing.

Consider that in the UK the 2011 600 is priced at ~£9500 or $15200 it is crazy money, considering I paid less than that (£8500) for my 750 new in March last year I am not convinced that the difference is worth the massive price hike?

Unless you are just dying for a 600cc you would have to be crazy to pass up the 750cc for a $400 difference.

Agreed.

Anyone have a handle on the insurance price difference between a 600 and a 750? Trivial? Non-trivial?

Insurance for a 6 and and a 750 are the same. I think the new look is kinda kool, but I don't care how kool it is, I am NOT paying that much for either one. I have a 07 750 and an 06 1k and I'm pretty sure they run about the same going from my house to work in the morning, and on weekend trips around coastal NC.
