GSX750ES, in bits, in a Ford Fiesta

Hello - haven't visited here in a while.

So, I've got a bit of a nutty project on the go at the moment, and on Sunday I'm picking up a frame and engine for a GSX750ES. It's in bits - the last bike I transported in a car was a Suzuki GN250 in a polo and that fit, but I was just wondering if anyone who has had one of these things knows the rough dimensions of the frame?

Will I have any trouble fitting it in a Mk4 Ford Fiesta with the seats down?

Cheers - I know it's a daft question, but I was hoping someone would know.

There was a post on here a little while ago. Someone fitted a similar looking bike but about a 500CC in a little Corsa or something similar.

Bring tools, if you do go ahead and do it. You'll need to strip the majority of the bike in order for it to fit. And he had it going into the front seat, I think they had to take the passenger seat out.

Would be easier to just rent a van or trailer, if you could. Wink

Got an NTV650 in a Golf, something in the Clio, another guy got his GSXR in a Clio and I've had a pit bike in a 2 seater sports car. Laughing

It will fit Thumbs Up

Thanks guys. The guy had already stripped it down for me when I got there so the frame, all the bits and two engines fit in perfectly. Cheers Very Happy

Now it's in my shed! Best I've managed is a C90 in a 106, even that was a squeeze.
