A favour needed please!

Hi all

Wondered if someone with a 749 measure it for me at its widest point,as i'm about to order a shed for it and need to know what width door to get!

Also,(roughly) how 'wide' is its footprint once on the stand,ie does it lean over a lot?

Thanks very much (in advance)

Nick, get over to ducati.com and find the pdf manual and in their they'll be the dimensions.
Not much help but 999s:-
max width - 730 (tip of brake to tip of clutch levers)
length - 2095 but add say 75mm for licence plate overhang
on its side stand - I'd say about 1000mm but need to measure.

just been up the shed for a measure
could not find the frigging tape anyhow
bike was 700mm wide (my best guess)
you would need 950mm when on side stand (again my best guess)

sorry for guessing

Not sure of the dimensions, but, I do know it leans over a long way on the side stand.

Suggestion would be to store it on a stand ... paddock stand or abba stand or similar.

My solution was to use an off cut of paving slab and slip that under the side stand to keep the bike much more upright and reduce the overall footprint of the bike.
