It is also a fairly tall vehicle and very economical (claims 5.5 lit per 100K). I only know because have been looking at the same vehicles It is right in your price range Regards Harold Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum - Lucretius |

And was it a 5 door? Also as unbelivable as it sounds i saw 3 full size bikes put in the boot of a commadore, nothing on the backseat. It like i big dismantleing session. too hard i want to be able to push down the seats and throw it in. |

I was going to say, do you think they still make the 1981 model? I don't even recall having to take the front wheel off my teenage sized bike. > It is also a fairly tall vehicle and very economical (claims 5.5 lit > per 100K).

If you are happy to put bags on top of the bike or vice versa I can't see it being a problem, but then I haven't tried it either. You do need to fold the rear seats down flat, so only room for one passenger.
