Borile
Borile was founded by Umberto Borile. Borile started in 1988 in Italy.
BORILE motorcycles was born in a small workshop, in a small village called VO’, a name probably originated from the Latin word “vadum”, which sounds as invitation to come and enjoy the peace and quiet of these places, the poetry of its vineyards lying on smooth slopes in the middle of the Venetian Plain. Here passion, not marketing strategies or market analysis, moves people. Our motorcycles come from this passion. We never wondered about how many we will sell of them but we only wanted to build them just the way they are, by hand, piece by piece, using only the best materials available on the market with a maniacal attention to particulars, and proving a great satisfaction for each assembled piece.
We like our work and we like our bikes. Our customers know it and they know that after having ordered one of them, they have to wait: these bikes are built in a particular atmosphere, made of calm and tranquillity where hurry doesn’t exist. We trim our pieces with the file, each part is different from the following one: in our workshop we don’t have any manufacturing centres connected with CAD-CAM but we have salami, good wine and Lucio Battisti’s songs.
Slowly, year after year, step by step, we have reached the final development of our bike, which you can see very soon running on the streets. It is the final prize for a work begun many years ago, in 1988 with the Piuma 520, a single cylinder, four stroke, 500 cc, an so innovative off road bike that its futuristic solutions are only now adopted by some designers.
With the Borile B500T, showed in 1997 at EICMA exhibition in Milan, we have taken a new direction proposing the classic look of the “60’s” inspired by the classic English school, powered by modern mechanisms, all dressed, with a painstaking care, of aluminium handmade and polished particulars.
The B500 CR was presented in 1999 with a new engine with en bloc gearbox. "CR" means Cafè Racer which is the bike concept. After a year of testing and quality control, this new bike is ready to go into mass production in September 2002. Source
