SUMMARY
Distinctively presented, 125cc two-stroke lightweight single from Moto Parilla. This example appears to have been very well restored in the past and seldom used since. No paperwork accompanies the bike.
DESCRIPTION
- The second generation of Parilla motorcycles - known as the 'high-cam' (camme rialzata) - debuted at the Milan Show in 1952 in the form of the Fox roadster. This was a 175cc single, built in Turismo and Competizione versions, which featured a chain-driven camshaft mounted on the side of the cylinder head, the valves being operated via short pushrods
- In 1957, Parilla embarked on a new venture, introducing a range of lightweight motorcycles powered by outwardly similar two-stroke and four-stroke horizontal engines of unitary construction, the first of which was the fully enclosed Slughi model. Engines were suspended beneath a spine-type frame, with the swinging arm pivoting directly in the gearbox casing. A conventional un-enclosed model followed; the latter was launched in 1960 as the Impala, though the name changed to Olimpia soon after
- Two-strokes were finished in metallic blue with gold accents. Prices were $369 for both models in 1960 and $349 in 1965
- This example appears to have been very well restored in the past and seldom (if ever) used since
- There doesn't appear to be any paperwork with this bike
