Default SV650 Width?

As the title says, would like to know what the width of a SV650 K8 is from widest part to widest part (I assume this is mirror to mirror). Just need to know if I can fit it though the gate at the side of my house. Cheers.

you can get your Sv through a standard side garden gate. I get mine through three every time i go out. just watch out for pulling the gatepost with your zorst, when you miscalculate

Just down to practise, sometimes i slightly lean it over whilst stood over mine, if I've got the angle wrong

Yep,as dizzy says,you'll easily get an sv through a standard gate.I used to get mine through no probs & the rr is even easier due to the underseat zorst.

If your worried about the mirrors,just flick em in.....hth.
