You can always rotate it on the side stand meaning it will turn inside its own length +1ft

Or if you get an older CBR (pre 2006 and not the RR or the FS sport) you can always get a motorbike centre stand dolly. Simply put it up on the centre stand onto the dolly and you can spin it around inside it's own length.

Struggling to visualise that, paint diagram?

I can get my Hornet through an 80cm gap between a wall and my van no problem and then do a multipoint turn paddling back and forth in a space not that much wider than the bike is long.

If I was in a hurry it'd be a hop off and spin it on the side stand. But as I'm never just turning to go back out, I take my time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIiegMBpyDM

Edit: Must type faster Very Happy

Thanks didn't think of that at the minute am rideing a 125cc that's 5 inches smaller than the cbr 600rr with a much small gate as am planning on getting my wall rebuilt to give me 2 gates opening at 5feet at the minute I have to lift the back end to get it around into the ten foot so going to test the bike I have atm with the 5ft gate see how Easier it is then add 1ft onto back of bike and try that if not can you get the trollies to go on main stand or just do the side stand turning

RR doesn't have a centre stand. Plus you shouldn't rotate bikes on the side stand all the time... they snap.

Maybe get a full size dolly? They're £90 from Machine mart.

It might be a pain to be doing it everyday though.

So do you think on theory if I can get my scooter that's 5 inches in length smaller than the cbr600 rr I should be orite space wise ?

Probably, however it may well be a bit of a pain to get in and out as it will be heavier and wider.

As said probably better to draw a paint diagram so we can visualise it.

No chance.

I struggled to get a zxr400 through the same setup with alot of bouncing, edging forward, bouncing etc etc

You just wont have the space to make the turn.

Proper bike won't fit in that without double gates. Scooter turning circle is much tighter, its probably also a decent bit narrower

A challenge or you don't have one?

Don't worry we're not bothered if you prefer a bit of battered sausage instead. There's a picture of a guy in leather with a potato in his arse circulating somewhere if that's your preference (I missed the story behind it).

..NSFW incoming.
