Prodigy frontman Keith Flint is big motorcycle fan (you’ve often seen him present at big racing events), but for those of you who don’t know, he also races a track prepared Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the Hottrax Endurance Championship with his own Team Traction Control.
Flint recently took delivery of the new 2011 GSX–R750 and after riding it on the road and then at the GSX-R track day at Brands Hatch decided for the moment against turning it into a track bike and to use it for road trips.
“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,” said Flint.
“I spoke with Michael Neeves at Motorcycle News about it after the launch and knew it was the right choice, so got my name down sharpish.
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.
” And when John Hopkins went to Oulton Park to learn the track, he used Flint’s Suzuki .

can you just imagine the feedback you get on your race bike from a former MotoGP, Superbike, AMA and now BSB rider?
