Default What's the smallest van a motorbike fits in?

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

Cheers

Transit connect = No.

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

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? What is the height, length and width of the bike and what is the internal dimensions of a transit Connect (and its competitors)???

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

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
