Answer = Yes

Yamaha 500cc XT Thumper trail bike

1. remove passenger seat and place behind driver's seat
2. remove front wheel assembly of bike
3. loosen handlebars of bike and rotate them 180 degrees so that they point downward for clearance.
4. now bike will fit into van with about a half inch of clearance at the rear doors
5 the front forks of the bike are guided into the front passenger foot well

This method was use to transport the bike from Adelaide to the Riverland when I bought the bike and also back to Adelaide when I returned to the city to live. [I also had a double bed on the roof-racks on that trip :lol: ]
