Anyone reckon you can fit a KLX650 sized bike in a Berlingo van? the one without the windows etc obviously.. looks a bit wee so would probably be tight if it did fit.. Neutral

Can get one for next to nothing, see, so it would be ideal to take my other KLX to off-road sites etc..

Berlingos are pretty short, I doubt it.

Hazy, the likes of Drumclog etc. (and obviously there's a few places where you can bugger about elsewhere)

That's what I was thinking about the passenger seat. Will ask if I can test-fit it Laughing No point buying if it doesn't fit.

Suzuki do a van called "1.3 Suzuki Carrier" that is far to small to carry a Suzuki. Absolutely no help to you but I enjoyed the irony.

Remove the forks and then leave the back end hanging out?

You will soon get bored with that, buy a van that takes a bike.

I've had several bikes in the back of my Peugeot Partner, ZX7Rs, a ZXR 750 and a GPZ500. All went in without removing parts and the doors closed.

Ended up with a Peugeot Boxer jobby. Was used for bikes beforehand as well so not had a crazy "tradesmans" life.

Do need an oil filter though. Do standard car/autoshops/motorfactors stock vans parts? or do I need to find a van joint? save me fannyin' about tomorrow too much.

Sorry for a late reply to this thread, but thought this would aptly demonstrate an answer to your question.

It would only fit with a bit of dismantling. That would get boring really quickly. This is my RXS100 in one of the Berlingos from work. The fact that it’s all panelled reduces the space even more.

Hope the Peugeot works out for you. Thumbs Up Smile
