At the heart of the 2015 Borile B500 Ricki classic motorcycle, Borile relies on a 487 cc (29.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 90.0 x 78.0 mm (3.5 x 3.1 inches).
On the scales, the B500 Ricki measures 122 kg (269 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
