Would you like a Kevin Schwantz-liveried GSX-R1000?

And are you prepared to travel?


If you answered in the affirmative to both of those questions, then read on.

A Suzuki GSX-R1000 painted especially for 1993 world 500 GP champion Kevin Schwantz will be up for auction later this month at the Motor and Allied Trades Benevolent Fund ball in the UK.

Schwantz rode the bike at the Isle of Man TT centenary celebrations in 2007 and, in addition to the one-off paint-scheme echoing the legendary rider's RGV500 two-stroke racebike, the GSX-R1000 also has a Yoshimura exhaust system and lacquered signature.

The bike is set to be the star motorcycle prize amongst a number of other auction items that the charity hope will help raise their target of £150,000 ($A270,000).

The auction will be held on December 16.
