Can someone tell me what the overall length of an X1 is?
Going to pick mine up in Michigan and I want to know if it will fit in a six foot trailer.

wheel base is 55 inches adding 17 inches for the wheels (well 8.5 per side for the half diameter) not including rubber that puts you over 6 feet.

Now the tail hangs over that another few inches or so.

If it is an enclosed trailer I'd so no dice.

Open with no tail gate, that is a close fit...

My M2 fit in my 6ft bed angled corner to corner and the tailgate shut. For what it's worth.

Thanks for your generous offer Spidey, but the bike is coming to Canada with me. I'll be at the Walmart in Battle Creek at about 10 a.m. Wednesday if you want to do a meet and greet...
