At the heart of the 2005 Borile B 500 CR Cafe Racer naked motorcycle, Borile pairs a 487 cc (29.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 87.0 x 82.0 mm (3.4 x 3.2 inches) with a 10.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the B 500 CR Cafe Racer measures 117 kg (258 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
