Correct answer

  • CSí, siempre que no sobresalga más de 0,50 metros por cada lado de su eje longitudinal.Yes, as long as it does not stick out more than 0.50 metres on each side of its longitudinal axis.
Explanation

The Regulations allow an indivisible load on a motorcycle to stick out sideways by up to 0.50 metres on each side of its longitudinal axis; this limit is meant to avoid affecting stability or taking up other road users' space.
