Rider Profile

Best For	This is a bike best suited to experienced riders comfortable with a raw, minimalist single-cylinder flat-track style machine and its lack of modern rider aids.
Purpose	Built as a boutique, limited-edition Italian flat-tracker/street-tracker, it's meant for spirited, playful riding and showing off unique character rather than covering distance or hauling passengers.
Rider Fit	Its very light dry weight and low seat height make it easy to muscle around and flick through turns, though the single-cylinder engine demands active gear and throttle management via its 4-speed box.
Character	It has the soul of a stripped-down speedway racer brought to the street, with a thumping single-cylinder engine, upside-down forks, and a distinct belt-driven Norton-derived transmission giving it real mechanical personality.
Not Ideal For	It is not the right choice for riders wanting high-speed touring, passenger comfort, long highway stints, or off-road capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Borile B500 Ricki, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
