Aye, it is a wide bike, much so than the CBR. I can probably get some measurements if you want

I've just measured the bike's width, from mirror tip to mirror tip you are looking at 1.8 metres.

If you fold them in the width reduces to a staggering 1.5 metres.

Hope that helps. I did say it was a wide bike.

Hate to ask but is that straight across or with the curve of the bike

Yeah, just been out and measured mine again....I got it slightly wrong. It wasn't 1.8 metres wide it was approximately 1 metre 8 cms wide which is as near as damnit what you have put above. Oops!!

With the mirrors folded mine are just under 1 metre wide.
