Not the cross dressing kind Laughing

but I need to transport a 04 Yamaha FZ6 this weekend, will a short wheel base transit do the job sufficiently?

The overall length of the bike is about 150 - 200mm shorter than the internals of the van etc but can anyone see a reason why I would need to up to a LWB for example?

thanks

Shouldn't be a problem - just use 3 ratchet straps and a few old cushions/blankets.

Piece of piss. I've had zx7r in the back of my Berlingo, and 2x GPZ500s! I sold a bike to chap once who had a SWB Tranny and he had 3x RGV 250's in the back.

I've managed a 916, ZX7 & NSR250 in the back of an SWB Transit.

You'll have no problems at all.
