What's the smallest van a motorbike fits in?

[Stu]

Can I hire a transit Connect or do I need a real transit?

Cheers :)

[Davido]

Transit connect = No.

Vauxhall combo you can get a full fairing pointy SV in (I know).

DD got one motorbike into his old small rubbishy van. Peugeot Expert??? So any around that size.

[Lozzo]

You should be able to get two bikes in a Peugeot Expert. Same body as a Fiat Scudo, and I used to cart a fully faired RD350LC and an RD250 around in my old one with plenty of room to spare. A Kawasaki KR-1 will fit corner to corner in a 1996 Vauxhall Combo van if you remove the fairing, without having to take the front wheel out.

Depends on the bike ;)

But surely this is an easy one to solve? :scratch: What is the height, length and width of the bike and what is the internal dimensions of a transit Connect (and its competitors)??? ;)

i've had the sv in one of these hot rods

You can fit an RS125 in a Ford granada if you take the front seat out....

Why are you hiring a van Stu.... tell all!

[Sosha]

Yes. Tell all



(or I'll continue to post unhelpul comments....)

You can fit a ped on the back of a Caravan dontcha know....

I find actually riding a motorbike far too scary these days so I'm going to put it inside a van, rip out the drivers seat, sit on the bike & drive the van like that :^o

Monkey bike in the back of an Astra...

Mini Moto on the back of a monkey bike.....

[Blue_SV650S]

http://www.newfordtransit.com/new_connect_detail_specification.htm half way down there is some dimensions.

Suzuki SV650 Dimensions:
Overall Length: 2120 mm (83.5 in.)
Overall Width: 790 mm (31.1 in.)
Overall Height: 1030 mm (40.6 in.)

So assuming the height is Ok, an SV650 for example would fit ... (with the vans seat down)

[Davido]

I work for Ford and had the opportunity to get a Connect cheap to cart the stunt bike in, and my highly streetfightered (read, everything missing) had no hope in hell of getting in there without major struggles.

They do make a LWB version of the connect, which you could possibly get a small bike into, but the door height is the thing that messes you up. You have a large lip you need to get the bike under before it'll sit in the van nicely.

I managed to fit an SV in my escort estate.

As Law said I had a Peugeot expert (same as a citroen dispatch and a fiat scudo) fitted it in an SV no problem

[jimmy-james]

The humble T4 is a good one, i love mine!

fitted it in an SV no problem
You fitted a van inside your SV :shock: - must be tiny, i'd better steer clear of them ;)

If you are hiring a van, the price won't be much different for a Transit sized vehicle. I hire out Citroen Relays for £45 for the day (inc Insurance & VAT). A Citroen Berlingo is £34. I know which one I would go for :)
