Is a Suzuki GSX-R600 comfortable?
The GSXR is the most comfortable sport bike for me and I am 6″5′. If you think it is uncomfortable, you should hop on a 600rr, R6, 636, 08 zx10r, 08 1000RR or an 06 1000RR.
Is the GSXR 750 better than 600?
The 600 makes plenty of power but as John said the 750 has better low end power. Keep it under about 7,000 RPM until you get used to it. At about 9,000 RPM these bikes enter another realm.

Should I buy a Suzuki GSX-R 600 as my first motorcycle?
It is not a good idea to get a sports bike like a Suzuki GSX-R 600 as your first motorcycle. Without any riding experience, a GSX-R 600 may be too powerful to safely control and the ergonomics are set up for racing, not learning to ride. If you’ve owned other types of motorcycles before, a GSX-R 600 may be the perfect entry into sports bikes.
Is the Suzuki GSX 250 R a good beginner bike?
A Suzuki GSX 250 R is a much better beginner bike than a GSX-R 600 because it is lighter, less powerful and more forgiving. You will learn the basic skills faster on a smaller GSX 250 R and you will have more fun in the process. Once you are comfortable on a GSX 250 R you will progress quicker on a GSX-R 600 than if you had started out on the 600.
Is the Suzuki GSX-R 750 a good starter bike?
If the GSX-R 600 is not a good starter bike, the GSX-R 750 is even worse. All the same reasons I mentioned earlier apply, but on the GSX-R 750 you will be dealing with 50% more power (150 hp) and 45% more torque (63.6 lb-ft). The GSX-R 750 is only slightly heavier than the GSX-R 600, resulting in a ridiculous power-to-weight ratio.
Why is the handlebars on a GSX-R 600 so narrow?
The handlebars on a GSX-R 600 are narrow and the front fork has a steep rake in order to assist with direct steering at higher speeds around a race track. This in turn makes the bike difficult to maneuver at low speeds, like when you are still getting used to clutch and throttle control in a car park.
