Hi,

On the photopage I see no 750SS as manufactured, the Imola Racer is I think the one that was shipped to Australia afterwards. As far as I know only 9 factory racers build for the Imola race in 1972. These where stock GT's (with wide rear frame) carefully build up with Desmo heads (with 500 GP Desmo know how), 3 lockheed disk brakes and a longer rear fork. The polyester is inspired on the 500 GP too. Here a great story of Paul's win by Paul Smart; http://www.onewheeldrive.net/index.p...ask=view&id=70

The 750 SS is a replica of the Imola winning bike and only 401 (or 411) are made in a roundcase version. It is one of the most searched for collectors item and if the frame- and engine # is correct a 30.000 to 35.000 Euro's is a reasonable price

There are many lookalikes build so beware of it, there is a listing of the right numbers.

Cheers, Ron
