Perhaps the most attractive version yet, it combines a chrome-plated petrol tank with black carbon-fibre mudguards and side panels. Billet aluminium components are scattered around the elegant V-twin, which runs cast-alloy wheels rather than traditional spokes.

This mixture of old and modern will be limited to a run of just 500, all individually numbered.

No word yet on Australian prices or availability, but in the UK the Limited costs A$16,000, about $1700 more than the entry-level Stone and the same as the most expensive V7 III Milan.
