2005 Suzuki year code: K5

Practically the same bike as the previous model, apart for the new graphics. The only new
announced feature was that the headlight switches off during startup to reduce load on battery.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the GSX-R models, Suzuki launched a limited Anniversary
edition of the GSX-R600 (GSX-R600X). It was still the same bike but it had special 20th
anniversary colors and graphics with numbered emblem and special ignition key, a black muffler
with racing style end cap and 20th Anniversary logo, GSX-R750-style trapezoidal radiator, special
designed brake discs, tinted windscreen, racing-style sliders, Iridium spark plugs and blue colored
chain.
Colors: Blue/White, Yellow, Black/Silver, Red/Black
