[Mello-Yellow]

Has anyone got a 748/9** into a sooty van before, wondered whats the smallest van you can get one into without taking half the bike off before it goes in.

cant help but whats a sooty van anyway

It's a Bedford Rascal van

I was wondering if a 749 would go in a long wheel base Transit connect???

Any ideas without getting a tape measure out??

I used to get my Fireblade into a Renault Extra, the passenger seat folds forward but used to have to put a wooden box for the rear wheel to sit on.

I have a funny feeling they are long enough and wide enough but not tall enough the only reason I say this is because you can get a bike into the one side of a horse but theres a lot more height to them. Still cant belive they used to make 6 seater versions!!!

Me and Weeksy had a Nissan Vanette, just like the Rascal and you'd get one bike in easy. I have a feeling he got 2 bikes in it before I bought it from him.

I've also had someone turn up in one of these...



...and take away a CBR600. It went in no problem.

I was amazed.
