I'm looking to do my first TD in Sept, I've got a swb connect 2017 coming through work, does anybody know if the bike will fit with some gentle persuasion?

Failing that it's back to option one and getting a trailer and tow bar on the car.

It'll fit in a high roof long wheelbase connect but a swb is just too short.

Don't know about a connect but I've seen bikes fitted into swb vans that I'd have sworn was impossible
Necessity breeds innovation I suppose,also our bikes are much larger than the average Jap

I think the knack is having the front wheel sitting between the front seats ,almost sitting on the h/brake

Not something I'd fancy in case of an accident but I've been assured that if the bike is strapped fore and aft it won't move

I saw a ZX10r in a tiny van once,it was fitted in with millimeters to spare and I've no idea how the guy did it as there was sod all clearance anywhere to manage the strapping
