Following the successful GSX-R600 Insurance deal launched earlier this year, Suzuki GB has now added the highly acclaimed GSX-R750 to the program, offering one years fully comprehensive insurance cover for just £139*.

At the same time as launching the highly competitive Insurance deal, Suzuki has also unveiled a new colour scheme for the bike hailed as ‘the thinking mans sportsbike’, with a limited run of metallic grey.

Suzuki GB marketing manager Paul de Lusignan commented, “With the success of our current GSX-R600 offer, we are pleased to be able to add the 750 to the program. Along with the new colour option, the Insurance deal backed by Express Insurance makes ownership of an icon even more accessible”.

The new colour scheme is limited to just 200 models, and is available for the normal recommended retail price of £7,949.00 on the road. The Insurance offer runs until 30th September 2007.

Now’s The Time
The Second European Driving Licence Directive (2DLD) will come into force in September 2008 and will introduce new elements to motorcycle testing and training.

The new manoeuvres, including the slalom, figure of eight, hazard avoidance and cornering skills, will all be tested during the new off road test which will be held at new super test centres.

Whilst the new elements to the bike test will help riders understand more about the capabilities of their machines, there is concern about the additional expense to take the test, the increased cost of training and the fact that the number of test centres across the country will significantly reduce from the current 260 to approximately 60.

With the prospect of facing longer waiting lists for tests and possibly more expensive training, many would-be motorcyclists are likely to take their test over the next two summers before the new legislation comes into effect.
