Suzuki GSX-R 600 2005

Despite its radical ergonomics and high-powered sports engine, the Suzuki GSX-R 600 (K5) manages to impress on the long stages of the Race Around Austria. Its engine runs smoothly and the chassis offers more than just a minimum level of comfort. In combination with the nimble Michelin tyres, it creates a sporty, direct riding experience that you wouldn't expect from an 18-year-old bike. And when it comes to fast laps on the race track, the Gixxer is still very popular. The lap time in Brno (2:17 minutes) with Bartin Mauer speaks for itself.

The Kawasaki rides noticeably more manageable than before. The machine lacks absolutely nothing for the racetrack. Steering damper, anti-hopping, chassis, engine - everything is ready. Only not quite as stable as before, the rear feels lighter in the braking zone than before.

new fork brings disadvantage: tolerences must be maintained over the entire surface of the immersion tube.
