This might be a bit more compact:

r1<-c(0.59,0.9,0.6)
plot(1:6)
legend("topleft",
leg=as.expression(lapply(1:3, function(n) bquote( G*.(n)~r^2==.(r1[n])))))

I didn't see an indication that there were supposed to be subscripted numerals 
after the "G"'s

Initialy I tried just:

lapply(1:3, function(n) bquote( G*.(n)~r^2==.(r1[n])))

But this didn't have the proper mode, which was solved by wrapping in 
as.espression thus returning the correctly constructed expression vector:

expression(G * 1L ~ r^2 == 0.59,
           G * 2L ~ r^2 == 0.9,
           G * 3L ~ r^2 == 0.6)

This could also be delivered slightly less economically with this editing of 
your effort:

as.expression(c( bquote(G[1]~~ r^2 == .(r1[1])),
                 bquote(G[2]~~ r^2 == .(r1[2])),
                 bquote(G[3]~~ r^2 == .(r1[3]))
                )
             )

I'm not sure but I think that expressions can be vectors but I don't think that 
there are "call vectors", only call lists.
