Kevin Schwantz Suzuki Finds New Home
A Suzuki GSX-R1000 built especially for grand prix legend Kevin Schwantz has found a new home at Palmers Motorbikes, Hemel Hempstead.
Palmers Motorbikes Director Danny Palmer collected the bike from Suzuki GB Headquarters after emerging as the winning bidder at the glittering 2009 BEN Ball. The bike was kindly donated to BEN by Suzuki and raised £9,500 for the charity on the night.
BEN is the UK’s only occupational charity for those who work or have worked in the automotive and related industries and their families, providing practical help, support, advice and friendship to more than 15,000 men, women and children every year
“We would like to extend our appreciation to Danny for bidding on Kevin Schwantz’s amazing bike. I’m certain it will become a real talking point in his showroom,” said BEN’s Director of Fundraising and Communications, Charles David. “This beautiful machine was generously donated by Suzuki, who have been ardent supporters of BEN for many years. Their support of BEN is invaluable and has helped us to reach out to thousands of our colleagues in the industry in times of hardship and distress.”
Suzuki GB Sales and Marketing Director and BEN Trustee David Taylor added; “Naturally we are delighted to support BEN and equally pleased that the donation of this special GSX-R has achieved additional funding for the charity. With all charities under pressure from recession induced drops in giving, I hope the motorcycle industry can dig deep this coming year too.”
