  • BSí. Hasta 50 cm desde el eje longitudinal de la moto.Yes. Up to 50 cm from the motorcycle's centre line.
Explanation

A motorcycle is less than one metre wide, and for such vehicles Article 15 of the General Traffic Regulations allows the load to stick out sideways up to 0.50 metres on each side of the vehicle's centre line. It may not stick out at the front, and at the rear by no more than 0.25 metres.
