Has anyone loaded a nike into a DI? - Land Rovers Only

I have to pick up a dirt bike in MA this weekend and was wondering if I could fit it inside the Disco. I have the headliner out (just finished painting it) and the seats are out (getting ready to herculine it). Obviously the drivers seat and the center console are still in the truck.

Anyone know if the bike will fit inside? It's a Kawa KLR 650.

Thanks,

I've never tried it but I think you'll be okay.

Thanks Disco, I'll give it a shot.

Years ago (many many moons) I transported a Kawa GPZ in a Renault 5 (LeCar in the US). So I guess I could get a dirtbike inside a Rover.

John,

Based on the title of your post, I thought you were trying to get a sneaker in the truck.

Ain't gonna fit. I have an old Kawasaki KDX 175 dirt bike and it is 84" long, 36" wide and 48" tall. Don't know exactly what type a KLR is, but with a 650 engine, it's gotta be big. You might be able to pull the wheels (and rear fender) and get it in, but maybe Uhaul is the way to go.

Good luck.

Ha, that's funny. My brother and his friend stuffed a Suzuki TM 125 into a 2 door Ford Pinto hatchback back in the 70's, got in themselves and drove for two hours to the beach!

Hey John! Just curious, how did you go with the KLR 650 fitting into the disco?

John C · 08-08-2005, 06:17 AM

Disco, I'm picking it up on Thrusday (11/8). I'll take some pics and keep you posted. I have the rear seats out and will remove the PS seat tomorrow.

BTW, here's a pic of my painted headliner (I took the pic this morning while sitting in Manhattan traffic).
