The Attractions
Even if they did not become as famous as they deserved, the motorbikes built by Giovanni Parilla from the 1950s to the 1960s are truly remarkable, and among them the sports and racing bikes became particularly famous.
The 175 sports model was a particularly popular two-wheeler - and in fact, Giuseppe Rottigne won the 250cc Daytona Grand Prix with its relatively small 175cc engine.
This example has recently been completely restored and is now on display in a private collection. Only some minor refurbishment work will be needed to make it roadworthy again.
