Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits confident riders who enjoy a raw, minimalist machine and are comfortable managing a punchy single-cylinder engine with a kick starter and no frills.
Purpose	Built as an Italian supermoto-style street tracker, it's meant for spirited backroad carving and short, engaging rides rather than distance or utility.
Rider Fit	Its featherweight 117 kg dry chassis and 850 mm seat height make it easy to flick around, though the firm setup and light fueling range demand an active, engaged riding style.
Character	It has the personality of a stripped-down Italian street tracker: eager, agile, mechanically simple, and full of character rather than outright speed.
Not Ideal For	It's not a good match for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger touring, or modern electronic rider aids.

Units

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2008 Borile B500CR, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
