When Suzuki launched the original GSX600F, critics leapt upon the unusual styling, cruelly labelling it (and its’ 750cc bigger sibling) ‘the teapot’. Despite this, the bike found a home as a budget sports-tourer – a niche the new bike will ultimately be considered as falling into.
The new bike draws no heritage (name aside) from the original GSX range. It definitely is no teapot in terms of looks – the long double-check at the lights from an R1 pilot who pulled up next to me verified that. The styling takes queues from a two-year old GSX-R600… and there is definitely nothing wrong with that!
So it looks good. But is it a sheep in wolf’s clothing?
