| CBR600f4i in a Dodge Minivan? Think it'll fit? Roof height in the van is a bit under 40 in from floor to ceiling. |

It'll fit. I fit my 2001 F4i in a 96 Dodge Caravan. I also fit my 1999 VFR800 in a 2001 Toyota Sienna. Vans rule.  |

| Re: CBR600f4i in a Dodge Minivan? I just gained a new respect for minivans. That's awesome. |

| Re: CBR600f4i in a Dodge Minivan? Yes they do. The only thing I didn't like about putting those bikes in the minivans is that in both cases, I didn't have ramps or anyone helping me! |

| Re: CBR600f4i in a Dodge Minivan? That's awesome, thanks for the reply. Did you have to use any straps to compress the suspension all the way? |

The time I did it in the Dodge, I used straps to tie down the bike to the seat mounting points. The time I did the VFR in the Toyota, I didn't have any straps, but the plastics were off and the bike was completely drained, so I just laid it down on it's side on a tarp in the back. |
