Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits an experienced rider who appreciates raw, old-school single-cylinder character over modern refinement.
Purpose	Built as a boutique flat-track-inspired street special, it's meant for spirited short rides and showing off Italian craftsmanship rather than practical transportation.
Rider Fit	The low 850mm seat height and lightweight single-cylinder speedway-derived build make it approachable, though the 4-speed gearbox and dry clutch demand deliberate, physical gear changes.
Character	It has a gritty, minimalist, mechanical personality with a big thumping single-cylinder engine and bare-bones speedway racing DNA.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance comfort, passenger accommodation, or high-speed touring capability.

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 2013 Borile B500RICKI, 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.
