Pit bike into an 80 series...

Post by ash_on_mtb »

I figure I might as well ask, maybe someone has already done it?

I need to fit one of these...

http://www.pitpro.com.au/browse.php?act ... egoryID=11

Into the back of my 80 series, (no rear seat, or cargo bay seats...

Reckon it will fit? Anyone done it?

Just eyeball it?

If an 80s boot is no smaller than a 60 I reckon it'd fit :lol:
60 + Turbo, 33"s :armsup:

Haven't got it yet, waiting for Kevin to buy it for me (or wait, is that you and me buy it for me?)

Good to know, seems like it'll work out well!

Ive seen a PW 50 in a 91 pulsar hatch, so I reckon it should fit with ease...

I used to put my pitbike in the back of my 80 all the time, as some one said you just have to lean it over a bit when putting it in, no need to drop the bars or front tyre at all, my pitbike was similar to the one in your link but a 140cc...

It will fit if you lay it down.

Just an FYI, my DRZ70 could fit in the back of our old 3 door Toyota Echo, on the rear seats. The DRZ also fits easily into the back of my GQ (no 3rd row, middle row still up), i can park the front wheel against the back of the middle row seat, then use the factory nissan tie-down points!!

You might have to loosen your bar clamps and roll your bars right back to make things easier.

I seen an old Yamaha IT465 in the back of a Hyandai Excel hatchback. Couldn't close the hatch though, so that was held down with occy straps.

just buy a troopy ;) I fit a 50cc quad and a jr50 plus all the riding gear for 5 riders, fuel, tools food etc with 6 forward facing seats aswell, the eldest boys rm80 fits in standing aswell. :armsup:

I reckon youll fit the little pitpro in the rear of an 80 fairly easily.
Jabber gone. Now have 98 nissan terrano and a 94 4.2ldiesel rv troopy on 33s slowly getting the fancy bits. How the hell do I change my user name?

we pulled the wheels of a pair of xr250's and loaded them into the back of a mistsubishi nimbus, then drove from melb to townsville, unloaded the bikes and rode the cape.
poor nimbus sat on the bumpstops for 6000km.

I've seen a Honda road bike fit into a VW golf.

Easy peasy

Just travel at 150mph.


It will fit. :shock:
