Just eyeball it?
If an 80s boot is no smaller than a 60 I reckon it'd fit

if it gets tight, take the handle bars off. or make sure it doenst leak petrol and lay it down.

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...

Should fit easy. I get a KX60 into my GXL no drama.

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 make up a rack that slides in to your towbar toungue hole and the bike sits nice on the back you can still see ya taillights its quick easy ,i made mine in about 2 hrs and have since made one for a mate every one comments on it .its compact and saves lugging round a trailer and you can change it from car to car in about 5mins flat let me know if ya want me to post some picks for ya Cheers.

Can I join the pissing competition??
I saw a twin 40ft B double inside the fake tank on a Suzuki Across, they used shoelace to hold it in there.

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.
I reckon youll fit the little pitpro in the rear of an 80 fairly easily.

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.
