I am wanting to get a tailer that I can also use to transport the DR650.
I am looking at a 6x4 though concerned this will not be long enough to
carry the DR650.
The DR650 has an "overall" length: 2 385 mm (93.9 in) (or my math is 7.8
feet)

Could I get away with a 6x4 trailer or would I need something longer?
If so, what length?

:-P

7x4 is a pretty standard trailer and then you are covered.

X-No-Archive: Yes

measure from the outside point of rear and front tyres to get your best idea...

The S10 wouldnt fit in my 7x5 with the tailgate on in a straight line, corner
to corner would btu thats not how my trailer is setup.

Depends on where you live Peter,
If you live in Victoria, you don't have to register a 6x4 trailer
I have put an FLH on a 6x4 trailer diagonally with the front down.

I wouldn't limit your choice to a rego-exempt sized trailer unless it
suits your purposes. Annual rego is less that the cost of a slab of
Aldi beer. (I use Aldi beer as the example just so you can't rationalise
that the beer is a better option than the registration). But seriously,
if you have a car and a bike, the trailer rego will only add about 3%
to your annual registration costs.

It sounds bad when you put it like that Nev as I am paying for 4 stickers
at the moment.
I got a 6x4 and the DR650 just squeezes in and I can get one half of the
door shut.

Perfect!
