Motorbike insurance could include Suzuki GSX-R1000

Customers keen to find the most glamorous motorcycle insurance might be interested in news of an upcoming charity auction.

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 will go under the hammer as part of an event designed to raise cash for BEN – the Motor and Allied Trades Benevolent Fund.

As a completely unique model – built for grand prix hero Kevin Schwantz – the two-wheel might prove an attractive investment for motorbike enthusiasts.

It was fashioned exclusively for the former 500cc world champion when he went to the Isle of Man for the 2007 TT centenary festivities.

Commenting on the news, sales and marketing director of Suzuki's Great Britain operations David Taylor said: "The Kevin Schwantz GSX-R1000 really is a one-off bike, with a fantastic story behind it."

Overall, the charity hopes that the BEN Ball in December will generate a total of £150,000.

Recently, the manufacturer revamped its cruiser range by introducing the new Intruder M1500 and M800, not to mention the return of the C800.
