The RC 600R was the sporting trail/rally-replica version of Gilera's 558 cc single, tied to the factory's Paris-Dakar successes in the early 1990s. The road test describes a restyled bike with a steel frame, a lower seat and good on-road handling, though the standard road-biased tyres struggled in mud.
