The GSR600 has an advanced high-performance liquid-cooled engine based on the race-proven
GSX-R600 powerplant, now tuned for a broader powerband and more low-and-mid-range torque.

per cylinder and a center-mount exhaust system.

The GSR600 engine is a case study in applied performance technology.
In the most basic terms, it is a liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder,
four-stroke with double overhead cams (DOHC) and
four valves per cylinder.
Bore and stroke of 67mm x 42.5mm produce a displacement
of 599.4cc with a class-leading bore/stroke ratio
of 0.634:1 and a compression ratio of 12.5:1.
It is a very compact engine, measured front to rear,
side to side and top to bottom,
