Prodigy frontman rides GSX-R750
Keith Flint, the front man for 'big beat' electronic dance music outfit Prodigy, is a dedicated racer and reckons the new Gixxer 750 is the dogs bollocks
Sports bike aficionados who like their techno music raw and industrial will be chuffed to hear that electronic music pioneers, Prodigy, are right into their high performance motorcycles.
Musician Keith Flint, the frontman of Prodigy, recently put the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 to the test in the UK on the race track, after buying the new bike a few weeks ago.
"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 event was the first track day for UK customers keen to sample the brand-new Gixxer 750, and Flint is no stranger to race tracks. He currently owns a race-prepped GSX-R1000 that he races in the Hottrax Endurance Championship, and the original plan was to turn the new 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 into a replacement race bike.
But after riding the new Gixxer 750 regularly on the road, the Prodigy DJ has changed his mind somewhat…
"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," added Flint.
Le Mans, the Isle of Man TT… Musicians get it all, eh!
