Flint is impressed with the new GSX-R750 in street form

Prodigy frontman and Suzuki fan, musician Keith Flint, put his new 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 through its paces last month in the United Kingdom, as he joined fellow Suzuki customers for the first UK GSX-R track day of the year.

Flint, who races a specially prepared GSX-R1000 in the Hottrax Endurance Championship, took delivery of his new GSX-R750 last month.

After initially intending to turn it into a special track bike, Flint changed his mind after riding the GSX-R750 on the road and will now use it for road trips he has planned for the upcoming UK summer.

“I’ve had a string of GSX-Rs over the years and with the 750 renowned for offering the perfect balance of power and handling, when I heard about the new one, I had to have it,” Flint said.

“The plan was to race it, but when I realised what a good road bike it is too, I decided to leave it in road trim a little longer ready for the trips to Le Mans and the TT that I have planned with my mates.”

A truly individual street machine, the Suzuki GSX-R750 is a direct link between the racetrack and the streets and delivers powerful performance with supreme handling.

The new generation GSX-R750 boasts an incredible 8kg weight reduction over its predecessor and offers Showa Big Piston Forks as standard and Brembos renowned monoblock calipers.
