In the 450 Class a hard-fought, consistent afternoon was enough to put Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing’s Dylan Ferrandis atop the podium for the second time this season.

In the 250 Class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jalek Swoll extended the parity in the division and broke through with his first professional victory as Jett Lawrence increased his lead in the 250 Championship.

Something tells us that we could be on course for yet another showdown for a championship between Wayne Maxwell and his nemesis, but friend, Troy Herfoss… Cru Halliday though could insert himself between them and break through for his first Superbike championship.

The MC or “Clubman Special” was the competition (trials) version of a range that was produced in 250, 350 & 500cc capacities and in Base, De Luxe & Clubman Special versions.

Due to the rarity of the bike it was decided during restoration to paint the tank silver instead of risking replacing the original chrome finish.

One interesting feature is the detachable troubleshooting light, housed in the tank’s instrument panel. As this single-wire lamp required earthing to work, using it to check the fuel level possibly helps explain the rarity of this model!
