I would be greatful if any of you could help me with this:

Whats the length of the ST 1300 when measuring the area of the tyres which is in contact with the ground-surface ?


Need this to find out if the ST 1300 will fit the floor-area of my compact car-trailer.

Thanks :)

Hi there....I measured 90", the total length (228.6 cm) from the front of front tire to the rear fender. (Manual says it's 89.4") I then measured from center of the two wheels which was about 60" (152.4 cm) (manual says 58.7")

Good luck....

1628 mm is very close. I measured from the front of the front tire contact patch to the rear edge of the back tire's contact patch.

Don't you want the LOA (overall length?). Surely the bike will be sitting between a front chock/wall of the trailer and the back lift gate/ramp?

Thanks for your reply`s guys; and to those of you who took the trouble of doing measurements :)

I attach some pictures of my trailer. Its a simple cargo-trailer; with a mc-ramp; which is delivered as accessorie to this trailer.
I am positive that my coming ST 1300 will fit on this ramp. How ever I would very much like to fit one of these:

I am uncertain that my trailer is long enough to utilize this choke.

The total lenght of the cargo-floor is 186 cm/ 73,2 inches. The current choke; allows parts of the frontwheel tyre to go outside the floor-area (as seen on the last picture).

The "LOCK N LOAD" -chock would need to be fixated on the inside of the cargofloor-area; reducing the overall-length available with this trailer.
