Too many toys and literally not having time!!
I got this gsxr 600 from the first owner 5 years ago which was in storage for almost 20 years! Rebuilt the carbs,change chain and sprockets and tires that are now in the second change!
What a fun fun bike what a blast! But my time is scarce now! So I hope she can get someone who can take good care as I did for the past 5 years!
The bike comes with woodcraft high bars which is way more comfortable than the stock ones! The bike doesn’t need anything and the pictures say for itself! Great great painting all stock!
Clean and clear title plus manual and second key!!

Reading this Cycle World review from 1992 made my mind start to shrink and expand.
“Aside from the switch to liquid cooling, the primary goal of new-style GSX-R engines was to provide a low center of gravity and a more forward weight bias. The easiest way to achieve this is to place the motor low in the bike’s frame, but the side-effect is usually reduced ground clearance.
Suzuki got around this pitfall by designing an extremely narrow motor. Most of the reduction in width came through relocating the starter clutch from its traditional position on the left end of the crankshaft to a location atop the crankcases. But Suzuki didn’t stop there: The crankshaft and transmission shafts were shortened; the number of driven clutch plates was reduced from nine to seven; and the distance between cylinder centers was reduced. The result is an engine that is nearly 3 inches narrower than that of the 600cc Katana, and more than an inch narrower than that of the 400cc Bandit.
Shortening the transmission shafts necessitated a reduction in gear widths, but gear strength was retained by increasing the outside diameter of each gear. Additionally, a multi-splined redesign of the transmission shafts results in more surface area and greater load-bearing capacity for smoother shifting”
I think the seller really says it all, “What a fun fun bike. What a blast!”
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
Nice, this generation of 600 is actually not that common.
the link to where its for sale does not seem to work?
Wow these were rare even 1/4 century ago. And any 600cc sportbike from then is has generaly not been a survivor. I bet you’d be very hard pressed to find another. These had the suspension and chassis and rolling stock of the 750. Plus all the weight. Just with much less HP? Regardless I’d call this a museum find.
the lower center of mass concept is misunderstood IMO. The bike rolls through its center of mass. But as a mechanical system, that must include the rider. I don’t think the riding position lowered the rider. When you add bike and rider, how much did it really move? Its an acadmic exercise of course.Dunno if i could detect the difference on track.
what is with the frame sliprs mounted by the footpegs. They appear they would disasterously slam into the deck at even an embaressingly slow pace. Glad they are removeable..
@Aaron – Thanks for this – just updated the red buttons with the FB ad link. In the future, if this happens again, try clicking on one of the large images. We link the 2 large images of each post to the ad as well. Sorry about that! We’ll try not to do it again.
