Rider Profile

Best For	This is a boutique, quirky machine best suited to experienced riders who appreciate a raw, lightweight single-cylinder cafe racer over outright power.
Purpose	Built as a light, minimalist cafe racer for spirited backroad riding and short sporty blasts rather than commuting or long distance touring.
Rider Fit	The very low dry weight of 117 kg combined with a compact frame makes it easy to flick around, though the firm sporty ergonomics and small 8.5 litre tank demand a rider comfortable with a raw, unfiltered riding position.
Character	A charismatic, high-revving single with a tubular alloy cradle frame and premium Ceriani and Paioli suspension, giving it a hand-built, artisanal feel typical of small Italian specialist manufacturers.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for new riders seeking forgiving ergonomics, or for anyone wanting a comfortable long-distance tourer or passenger-friendly machine.

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2005 Borile B 500 CR Cafe Racer, 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.
