Trike loading puzzle Solved with pics

[200xman]

The question is can I fit 5 83 Honda 200m's in the back of a 93 F250 with a 8 ' bed. I found a deal and got all 5 for $300, supposedly can make 2-3 nice ones and use the rest for parts. I don't want to take a trailer since the last couple of miles to where they are is 4x4 only. I think I can do it if I leave the tailgate down and bring plenty of straps, what do you think? Experience preferred and let me know how many bikes you got into the truck.

P.S. I'm not totally sure they are 200m's but they do have front racks. Is there any other model they could be?

well my dad used to stand his threewheeler on the grab bar, against the cab.. just bring a towel or something so it doesn't scratch the paint or anything.... and i'm sure you could bring a ratchet and sockets and pull a rim or two to make it fit better... just make sure you be careful about the fenders... try to make them point the way they drive.. i've heard about them cracking off, hauling em backwards.. maybe just a myth.. idn..

Ive hauled my Z backwards with its old fenders at 70+mph for 300 miles and they were fine

Yes, the first goes in backwards right rear tire in the left corner of the box, the second in forwards, the third goes sideways rear wheels straddle the wheel well on the left side, front wheel on the box rail, forth in forwards front wheel under the front of the unit sideways, fifth in forwards with the front wheel on the rear rack. Thats how we used to load 5 185s / 200s on the back of a 71 3/4 ton 4X4 long box Ford I know the s is a little smaller than an M but it should still work

I never haul my trikes in an open trailer with the rear plastics on....

Those honda's have there plastics just latched on, on a Z there bolted down, so thats fair enough

damn, your scoring all the good deals! if they dont have gas in them you can do what the other said and stand them on their arses.

I will get mucho pics when I pick up the bikes. Sounds like a good road trip. To all the people who are worried about the plastics they bolt on and are not going anywhere whether loaded forwards or not.

If I wanted em bad enough, I could probably get 8 in the back of a truck! Seriously though, I would stand em up against each other. Like what was posted earlier, bring some towels as the first will be against the cab, strap it down. The next against the first , strap it , and so on. I would either remove the rear tires or deflate em to get it closer to each other.

You could take a trailer,un hitch just before the 4x4 part, make 2 trips through it, then load the trailer up. Haha but if you think you can get 5 in there... i want to see!!!

[rugabugadouglas]

its possable i had a polaris scrambler and a honda shadow in the back of a chevy 6' bed with the tail gate closed the guys at the dealership didnt see that coming just had to take the rear rim off the atv and set it on it to make room for the bike

Another way to make more fit is take the rear wheels off. You stack them in and put the tires on top.

I think with a few tools and a little work you can make them all fit.
