Motorcycle van fit
Enter the measurements above to calculate motorcycle van fit.
How the calculation works
V9 calculation: requiredBikeLength=bikeLength+2×tieDownSpace; requiredBikeWidth=bikeWidth+2×tieDownSpace; requiredBikeHeight=bikeHeight; doorPass=bikeWidth≤rampDoorWidth AND bikeHeight≤rampDoorHeight; bayPass=requiredBikeLength≤cargoLength AND requiredBikeWidth≤cargoWidth AND requiredBikeHeight≤cargoHeight; overallPass=doorPass AND bayPass. The result is reported as motorcycle van fit.
Worked example
Example: Motorcycle length = 210 cm; Motorcycle maximum width = 85 cm; Motorcycle height = 120 cm; Door width = 130 cm; Door height = 135 cm; Cargo length = 260 cm; Cargo width = 165 cm; Cargo height = 145 cm; Tie-down clearance = 5 cm. Result: Fits; Bay Pass = Pass; Door Pass = Pass; Required Bike Height = 120 cm.
