2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 Dual Sport reviews

I bought a slightly used 2006. It's a great bike for a great price. It has good power from 6K on up. If you are a new rider, this is perfect for you as it is very tame under that. You will be able to troll around below that range easily for a while until you get a good understanding of the bike! The good thing is that you will still have good acceleration, well compared to cars that is! Other than that, life is pretty fun after 6K. Coming from Kawasaki I can say that Suzuki is worth all the hype as it is a very capable machine. I can see why they sell/win as much as they do! Will I buy another Suzuki - yes. Have fun and be safe. Show less

After riding dirt for a number of years I decided to go to street and this was the best choice in my mind. The power band is shockingly smooth and seems to be quite condusive for noob riders. But make no mistake once you crank that puppy, it wants to fly! This bike is def worth the money and I would say it's tailored to all skill levels as long as you respect it. As far as comfort goes - It's a sport bike, I obviously didn't buy it for that, but it's not bad. The feel of the seat is my only complaint. Show less

Um yea, got this bike last summer and have a blast every single time I ride it. Enough power to have some fun on and can also be mellow...everyone should get this bike. Show less

If you're looking into buying a sportbike, I would highly reccommend a Gixxer 600. A gixxer in general is a great bike but the 600 series is an all around amazing motorcycle. It has a serious power band after 7k RPMs but also has a low key side to it for just cruising thru town. The twistys don't even phase the 600. It's light weight, tight handling, and sport suspension will allow you to corner with very minimal effort. Overall, I think the Gixxer the most comfortable, reliable, and fun 600 series made and would highly recommend one to any new or experienced rider looking to get a new bike. Show less

I purchased this bike used after decided to upgrade from a 2007 ninja 650R & I couldn't be more pleased. This is an amazing bike that has tons of power. Plus it looks great, I have in white & silver. Did have to lower it due to the fact I am short but it still handles well. I ride it every change I can even commute to work on it. Show less

This is my very first bike. I learned to ride on a '97 GSX-R 750. I surfed the web a lot trying to determine which bike I wanted to go with. I looked at all the different reviews. Almost went with another brand. However, due to what I heard about the other brand's customer service, I decided to go with the GSXR. I am COMPLETELY satisfied and glad that I did. My bike has gotten nothing but looks and praise from everyone. It handles like a dream; the powerband is awesome and can beat up all day long on the old 750 I learned on. I bought the bike with 9000 miles on and I've already put 500 miles on it in less than a month. Comfort-wise, it can be somewhat aggressive, but not as aggressive as some. I've noticed that if I rest my arms on my knees when tucked, it takes the pressure off my wrists and I could ride like that for hours. The power is really strong. It actually scared me when I was getting used to it. It pulls like a bull on steroids. It's very easy to get out of sticky situations or get around cars with just a twist of the throttle - even if you're just cruising in 6th gear. The color really makes it stand out - especially the fastest color - blue/white. The blue wheels really set it apart from the rest. I've been at bike shops and everyone wants to know about my bike. If I had to do it all again, I'd get another Gixxer. I'm sold on Suzuki. They make a great product - both for the track and the street. Show less

The best bike in its class hands down. Very sharp looking, excellent cornering, acceleration, and all around everything. Well done Suzuki for another great bike. Show less

I bought my Gixxer in May of 2006. I have ridden 8000 miles on it and it is still just as good as it was when I got it off the show room floor at the dealership. It is fast and can handle with the best. I just need more power! I am going with the 2007 Gixxer 1000 as soon as I can. Show less

I have been waiting far too long for getting my own bike and here I am. I bought my 1st bike, a 2006 600r (black/silver) and it was so so awesome. The bike rides and feels great. Just hard to explain it. I love it every time I ride!! I live in florida so I rode everyday except when it rains. Love it ... Show less

Well I just have to say this '06 GSXR600 is all that I heard about. It is my first sportbike and I am amazed by the power it has. It is completely stock and is perfect that way. If you are thinking of getting a 600cc, go with the GSXR, you will be glad you did! Even for my 6 ft. frame, it has adjustable footrests to give you a more comfortable ride, so just buy it. Show less
