In 1999, a story about an interesting, minimalist Italian motorcycle manufactured by a tiny company named Borile started. At an incredible street-legal weight of 232 pounds, this 500cc, air-cooled machine reminded many of us of the essence of motorcycling.
Nearly nine years later, we take a look at what Borile had to say about the current state of its elegant machine. The evolution of the Borile B500CR is shown in the photo above. The bike is still air-cooled and kick start, and it is still remarkably light, although weight is up to a claimed 257 pounds. Interestingly, although the Borile web site is fully functional, it doesn't look like much has happened at the firm for many years. We are not even sure any Boriles are still on sale.
