Engineered by Borile for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2013 Borile B500Ricki features a 487 cc (29.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 87.0 x 82.0 mm (3.4 x 3.2 inches).
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.
Within MotoLibrary's Borile archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2013 to 2014, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
