Which MPVs/People carriers can fit in a bike?

I'll see what I can do. he doesn't always bring it in so might be a few days before I can get at it

No rush, I have to sell at least my Skoda Estate and BMW Estate before purchasing!

He brought it in today, but I didnt have a tape measure and its a C8 not an 807 a 53 plate one, but IIRC theres not hell of a difference between an 807 and a C8. The owner is also a biker so we had a bit of a chat about whether we'd get my GSXR in the back and we both reckon it would fit, but it would be a squeeze height wise you'll probably be folding the mirrors in and taking the screen off to get it in. It is wide though, it was parked next to a newish VW Transporter Bus its as long as that is, not quite as tall but its wider. The load height to the boot lip doesnt look to high its certainly lower than a transit is. Its definately bigger than a Previa that somebody else was refering to above.

His is a diesel he said its heavy on juice, around the 28 to the gallon mark around town but gives more a run.

HTH

Thanks for that, I think the previous generation Ulysse/807 is higher still as it's more van like. I need to do some more investigations. Like buy a bike and ride it to test drives!

I really want to keep the screen on as that can be a 10-20 minute faff otherwise, especially on refitting depending if the bungs are playing ball and if it lines up nicely.

I guess it depends what you buy next,

I reckon it would be easier with a K6 onwards GSXR as they are a bit smaller than mine is, something like Liz's Ducati would go straight in as its so tiny and the screen is quite flat on it as well.

Biggest challenge is with the height - if it is a squeeze fitting it through the tailgate, there is usually a couple more inches height available once inside.

Perhaps compress the suspension with ratchet straps to get it in (no worse than on a trailer)?

I had a couple of Citroen Synergies (same as the older Ulysses/806). Good wagons, seats are a bit heavy lifting in and out, and both of mine had issues with the engine management light (HDi) coming on intermittently.

My mate owns a Peugeot dealership so if I get the chance to nip in their over the weekend, I'll get some measurements for you if they have one in stock

Did the bike go in through the back door or the sliding door? - These look quite cheap on ebay....

The Peugeot 807 has a terrible reliability record. If you want to spend maximum time on the track, you need to get there first.

Back door with 1 person inside and 2 pulling the bike up

Is that the new one, or the older 806, or both!!
