Top Gear Live choose Suzuki

Top Gear Live - the live arena show from the makers of the award winning TV programme Top Gear, has selected Suzuki's GSX-R600 as its chosen motorcycle for the 2010/11 World Tour.

Kicking off earlier this month at Earls Court in London, the action-packed show which is normally an exclusive four-wheel showcase of breathtaking stunts and amazing special effects, has chosen Suzuki's iconic GSX-R600 as its sole two-wheel spectacle, bringing petrol heads some real three dimensional action to the live arena.

Top Gear Live Executive Producer, Rowland French, commented, “I’m keen to have more motorcycles at Top Gear Live, and sports bikes like the Suzuki GSX-R600 turn as many heads as a Nissan GTR. Our show features some of the fastest cars in the world, tuned almost beyond their limits, so any bike that braves our arena needs to have some serious performance backing it up. For us the GSX-R fits the bill perfectly, and features in a sequence with Stig driving a 600bhp supercharged Mustang. With Dougie Lampkin, one of our highly experienced stunt riders onboard, the GSX-R definitely gives the cars a run for their money."

Visiting seven cities around the world and playing to over 300,000 spectators, the GSX-R600 features alongside the famous Top Gear presenter line-up of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, as it visits London, Birmingham, Dublin, Brisbane, Melbourne, Johannesburg and Oslo.
