The SP 600 was the largest of Suzuki's SP singles, a 589 cc air/oil-cooled four-valve engine in a tall, long-travel dual-purpose chassis with a big 21-inch front wheel and 21 litre tank. It added a front disc brake and a single rear shock, putting it close to the DR 600 in character. Tall seat and good touring range made it an adventure-style bike before the term was common.
