The 1982 update of the Montjuic kept the Mk I engine but moved to a larger fairing fixed to the frame rather than the forks, with a revised rear body, curing much of the earlier handling weave. Still a UK-focused, orange cafe racer based on the 500 twin, and generally rated the better of the two Montjuics. Combined Montjuic output was only about 250 bikes.
