Rider Profile

Best For	This is a bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, quick-reacting sportbike chassis built around a Ducati-derived air-cooled V-twin.
Purpose	It's designed for spirited backroad and canyon riding where its low dry weight and premium Ohlins suspension can be fully exploited, rather than for straight-line speed records.
Rider Fit	The low 800mm seat height helps shorter riders, but the committed, sporty riding position and minimal wind protection make it physically demanding on longer rides.
Character	The DB5 Borsalino is a boutique, exclusive Italian exotic that rewards precise input with sharp, agile handling and a distinctive desmodromic V-twin character.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, pillion practicality, or an easygoing, low-maintenance daily commuter.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Bimota DB5 Borsalino, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
