We used a Toyota Previa which was surprisingly spacious and comfortable for 3 blokes and 1 SV. A bit on the ugly side but did the job just fine.

I've had a few bikes in a Fiat Multipla just by taking the mirrors off, and can still seat 4 persons + luggage.

I mean several bikes at different times, not at the same time!

It looks like you had to take the screen off, or was it already missing?

It's just I want something I can put a bike in and out of without putting bits on and off to maximise track/'Ring time.

-Arena life could you leave the mirrors on if you weren't also transporting people?

Will probably go in with a standard screen. I have the Vario Touring screen which was about an inch too tall and didn't wanted to force it in.

Good thing about this car was that id had plenty of anchor points do the bike was very secure indeed. Also very economical on fuel, considering the load.

Thanks for that, now how does an 04-06 R1 compare height wise to a pointy SV ......?

No, but a bloke at work has an 807 is mahoosive, if you can get one in a Previa you'll definately get it in an 807 as its taller and wider.

Any particular reason for an MPV would it just be easier to buy a van ? Or do you want something thats more dual purpose than a van is i.e. more car like ?

MPV insurance is cheaper.

MPVs have more speed.

MPVs are cheaper than vans for cross channel ferry rates by a lot.

MPVs are just as, if not cheaper than a TD van of a similar power.

And vaguely more liveable on a day to day basis.

Any chance you could cheekily measure the height of the load bay on the 807 at work?
