1979 MOTO GUZZI LEMANS Apollonia by Motoborgotaro
Bike is named afther the great italian actress Simonetta Stefanaelli form the movie "The Godfather part 2"
This is not a custom bike as well as most of the fans like it but it is a successful mix of restoration work with a dose of mechanical improvements. so as not to upset the basic model but trying to better tailor those components outdated, so as to give the pleasure of driving safely but keeping the taste of vintage original bike.
