Nice!

Has anyone considered or heard of taking the mirrors and panniers off and installing mirrors to the bars to make the bike a bit easier for urban use?

Seems like if the mirrors and panniers could be removed, the bike would be 790mm at its widest point (bars) and only 740mm or less at the fairing. This puts it at around the same width as about 95% of bikes on UK roads.

Is this crazy?

1400GTR Discussion / Width measurements

Hi All.

Sorry if this has come up before but I can't find anything definitive with the search.

Would one of you kind people be able to give me some measurements of their bike? There are a lot of sources online that say the bike is 790mm wide which seems way too small considering some people claim the bike is 1 meter wide.

Would someone be able to give me the following measurements? Preferably in mm but old money will do :)


  • Width at widest part. Is that mirrors tip to tip?
  • Width when both mirrors fully folded.
  • Width from bar tip to bar tip.
  • Width at widest part of fairing ignoring mirrors.
  • Width of rear when panniers fitted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Mike

Oh I didn't realise they had any either. There aren't any on autotrader for miles. None on Orwell's website. I'll have to give them a ring.

I went in a couple of weeks ago but they didn't have any in. I live in watton and work in wymondham. I can get to you during a weekday lunchtime quite easily if you're in Norwich.

Currently I'm in Germany but can meet next week any day that suits you.

Cheers

Hi chaps. I'm considering buying a GTR soon and wonder whether I could meet up with someone in my area whose bike I could sit on, push around and whose brains I can pick.

Would Zebedee or someone else in Norwich be up for this?

Thanks, Mike
