Do you want a 25th Anniversary Suzuki GSX-R750? Well there are only going to be 25 machines for sale in the UK. Fitted with a Yoshimura silencer and commemorative individually numbered top yoke plaque and that distinctive unique retro colour scheme (a tribute to the 1996 GSX-R750) this will doubtless be a sought after machine.

Suzuki will be opening a reservation system at mid-day on the 23rd January at www.imgsx-r.com until all 25 machines have been reserved. It will be operated on a first come, first served basis.
