The Final Edition pays tribute to an engine which will be a collector's item with its storied past in World Superbike (WSBK). In all, 1299 bikes have been built of a limited and numbered edition and each motorcycle comes with a certificate of authenticity that makes this exclusive superbike even more valuable.
