A limited edition of 2000 bikes paying tribute to the 750 Imola that Paul Smart won the 1972 Imola 200 on, and to the 1974 Super Sport 750. It is the most race-flavoured of the SportClassics, with a half fairing, fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, low clip-ons and silver-and-blue paint over a green frame. It is quick but demanding in town because of its stretched riding position.
