Will a Honda Element carry a dirtbike?

Discussion in 'Element' started by George Lincoln, Apr 14, 2004.

  1. Anybody try to fit a dirtbike in the back of a Honda Element?
    I have a Yamaha TW200.
    It's pretty small.
    Thanks.

    Consider what that TW200 will do to you when you are in a collision or roll
    the thing in the ditch ... I'd get a trailer and be done with it.

    Good ridin' to ya,

    I agree about the trailer, but that also cancels the need for the
    Ellement. Pretty much any car can tow a light trailer with a dirtbike on it.

    I advise you to take a tape measure to the local Honda dealership and
    measure the storage area. You should be able to figure out whether or not
    it will fit after measuring your bike. I agree with the other posters that
    told you that making use of a trailor to carry the bike is a better
    option. Placing a Yamaha motorcycle in the back of a Honda Element could
    result in some damage to the Honda Element unless great care is used. For
    example, the trim or carpet could be damaged by oil or scrapps
    (spellling??).

    Hell I remember a time when we bought pickup trucks to put stuff in the
    back. If I see a guy with a pretty pickup truck pulling a trailer it
    cracks me up. 4 wheel drive vehicles all over the place that never leave
    the road - IMHO we're going nuts in this country. ;-)

    Two dirtbikes as in bicycles will fit! Almost no car can do that without
    taking off the front bicycle wheel.

  7. Since driving in-itself will cause you possibly serious harm when involved
    in a collision or roll over. I'd WALK!

    and godforbid your a dirt biker, you'll have to give it up.... Let me
    recommend either raising fish in a tank or kite flying!

    BUT WATCH THOSE HIGH TENSION LINES AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTERERS
    RECOMMENDATIONS.


    anyway you should have enough room, I'd tie-down to the seats (where they
    clamp) when they're pushed up. then to the 4 other tiedowns.

    and be aware of those afraid of life..........................
