Default K6/7 GSXR750 width?

Anyone know how wide a GSXR 750 K6/7 is, both with mirrors out and folded in?

As I'm off house hunting in Holland on Friday and need to make sure I get somewhere that can fit the future bike in to the garage/shed/.......

Thanks.

I can't remember off the top of my head but the distance between bar ends is shorter compared to a faired curvey.

Any chance you could give it a quick measure with a tape in the next couple of days?

Its as wide, but no wider, than a curvy SV at the tips of the mirrors IIRC. May be a dash slimmer.

I do know the handlebars arnt as wide as an SV. I know that for a fact, because I commented on it when I sat on my dads




still yet to ride it. Its more I dont want my dad riding my bike, he might thrash it and kill it. I'm sre he wont.

Buy the place you like, (biggest garage of course) and just knock a bit of wall down for a bigger back door to be fitted.

Priorities!

Worked for me. 1/2 a foot knocked out going from a Firestorm to........

My GSX14 was as wide as a bus standard. 810mm at the bars and about the same with the two blunderbus exhausts on. A Gixxer will be no bother, at most moving a mirror.

I'll have a stab at 740mm bar to bar?

Will you be looking for a "Herb" garden also?

The hard part is reversing it up the ramp as I've got to bounce it off the forks to climb the kerb if I get the angle wrong

I reckon you need:
Width = 70cm at handlebars with mirrors folded in, my back yard door is about 77cm IIRC and it fits in fine.
Width required when on sidestand ~90cm if you plan on getting off without having to perform gymnastics.

Cheers for that ZJ.

As for knocking down walls, I'll be renting, got my list through today from the relocation agent, a few nice looking ones with garden and garage (I translated one add and it said it had a barn in the garage , I guess they meant shed).

Most are only about 6 miles from the Zandvoort track, 20 mins cycle from the beach, 30 mins by train to Amsterdam, the next 18 months is going to be sheer hell I suppose it makes up for the expensive bikes over there.
