Here is one easy answer on how to transport a motorcycle. There is a bigger version of this mount also available on Risk Racing website that will accommodate heavier bikes better like the KTM 690 / Husqvarna 701.I would say this mounting system is perfect for any KTM EXC series or similar dirt bikes and dual port bikes like this CRF300L / Rally.
Video is NOT sponsored. I bought and paid for the system with my own money.

All right I’ve taken this Honda CRF to around 10 different countries here in Europe over the last year and as many of you probably already know I’ve done it with the van that I lived in for five months last year I went all over Eastern
Europe all the way to Greece and up to Bulgaria Romania and this little guy was with me in the van and I already showed you the van video I can link it down below if you want to check it out but now that I have this new van I actually have an even
Better motorcycle mounting system bought and installed in this van and this is not a sponsored video I just love the product and I want to showcase it to you guys so this is the solution I’m using at the moment Before I demonstrate putting in the bike I will show you how the system actually works and how it’s installed in the van so basically first thing these little screws here will keep it in place so this is actually the part that is going to be keeping
Your bike in place and it has this very nice ratchety system that uh when you push this down the ratchet is going to keep the bike from coming loose so if you go all the way down this is a very narrow opening here so even a
Very small bike and low bike is going to be fine with this Mount and then when you open this it’s not going to Spring automatically all the way way up you just open the lock and you press down so it’s a very nice and easy easy
To use system way easier to than the one that I had on my previous van so uh I I really do like this and you can see all the detail here it has this very thick very sturdy rubber mounts here these feet are going to keep the foot peegs of
Your bike in place and it’s not going to slip out because this here is so deep as you can see here so it’s a very simple and uh elegant solution and you can see the sliders here from bottom very nice very simple and this is the locking mechanism if you screw this
This screw will come out you can see it here maybe they are both the same of course the opposite sides but very easy to slide in and out and now that I have these is out of the van you can see that the rubber mat is installed like this so
This doesn’t really protrude much from the from the actual floor from the top of this rubber mat so if you’re hauling some some big items in your van and you’ll need the ca capacity to something else like boxes or or furniture or whatever you use the van for or your
Truck bed or wherever you have this installed you don’t have to remove this from the ground you remove the takes a couple of seconds and your van is empty basically very ingenious solution from risk raising I really do love this product what comes to the attachment to
The van I bought a few extra screws because I am a little bit uh hesitant in trusting these uh these mounting points not that the product is bad but uh I just always like to put a few extra if I can so I have uh these uh screw mounts
Here and they are screwed all the way through this floor so the other side has a bottom and there’s like one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 screws so that’s not going anywhere this version of the mount is rated to I if I remember correctly it
Was like 140 maybe 140 plus kilog of bike so the Honda crf300 L is fitting just about to that kilogram limit let’s just put these back in actually this one first align the slider and I already know that there’s a scale here from 1 to
5 if I put it this put this all the way to the number one all the way to the end it’s pretty much perfect for the Honda CRF so now it’s not going anywhere it’s a little finicky because the rubber mat is uh restricting a little bit but it’s
In so that’s it just a few seconds and I have the system back the yeah that’s not going anywhere it’s very sturdy I I do trust this system at this time and I wanted to make this video after I’ve used this for extensively so
Now that I’ve used it quite a lot I can say that it really does work so let’s now put the bike in the van and mount it to this system so you can see how it works so what I use to load the bike into the van is this
Ramp this is a foldable aluminium ramp just line it up so it’s pretty much straight and just walk it in in here you can just press the front brake so you can just keep the bike here let’s go up here on the step just easy it
In and try to align the bike as close to at the center as possible right from the get-go it’s much easier to mount that way so there now you just need to put these flaps down so the ratchet actually works and then you can just push this right up against the mounting
System press the front brake you can just put this down a little bit like so and then the bike is basically already in what I usually do now is I get onto the bike and I just press this in all the way like so so now the bike is actually
There it’s pretty pretty tight up here but the bike is mounted and it does wobble a little bit but that’s normal it it does have some movement but that’s not going anywhere when you ride the bike so now what I usually do is let me get get one of the
Cameras I just take this front brake and I wrap it around like so and just attach it somewhere in the Plastics or anything any place that it’s dirty so now the front brake is closed and if you haul this very long distances you could wrap
A uh liner here from the rear tire to the back of the van very gently don’t over squeeze it because it’s going to pull the pull the mounting system but just so that it’s fingertight so so if you have a emergency braking s situation you are uh going to get some
Of that power against the strap and not all of it against the mounting system but uh of course you’re going to ride a little bit more gingerly with the bike in the van so that’s how it’s done it’s very easy it doesn’t take a long time
Now the bike is there and it’s secure it’s not going anywhere I don’t know I’ve been hauling this CRF with this system for like 4,000 km probably and uh I’ve had no problems with the system whatsoever it’s always this simple to put into the van and it’s
Even more easy to take out of the van without further rambling let’s take it out on a ride so let’s take a quick ride and talk about maybe next videos that I’m going to be making I’m going to be building a rally tower for the crf300l to you definitely want to
Subscribe to see that and I’m I’m going to be taking the rally rate front end to a suspension specialist here in Finland then I’m going to be going to a Motorcycle Expo in Helsinki Finland and uh I’m going to be posting at least those two First videos but I’m not sure
If I’m going to do anything from the Expo probably at least pictures to the Community page and I’m going to be leaving some bloopers at the end of this video so be sure to watch them I thought that this would be like a quick and
Painless video but wow it was a lot of work I editing and filming yesterday about 9 hours but be sure to leave me a thumbs up I’m going to go to the highway so I can drive 100 km an hour so that’s 60 M an hour so you can see how much the
Bike is moving around in the back it shouldn’t do much to be honest like now I a bit of a heartbreaking don’t hear any sounds so that’s a good sign 70 80 and now we’re doing 100 the bike looks very stable and uh there’s no excess sound or anything from
The mount if you hear some squeaking in the video it’s not the mount itself it’s something else in the back yeah the mounting system and the bike itself is not squeaking making any noises it has actually never done that so here are some bloopers from making this video and
Uh see you on the next ones the rally rate video or maybe the rally Tower built I’m not sure which one is going to come first but see you on those bye I’ve taken this Honda CRF I’ve taken this beautiful Honda CRF I’ve taken Dam it five months last
Year so this is my solution so this maybe and it’s going to keep the the lights are going off Honda CRF oh I’m going to say that and the lights once Again oh

Nice video…. professional quality 👌. It's always pain trying to find correct words, but your editing skills are hiding everything.
What tires and studs (how many) do you have on your CRF now?
Looks very convenient and sturdy but I think it would be best to always strap the bike from the rear wheel with a ratchet strap also, not just for the long hauls. It takes like 30 seconds and the strap from rear wheel to the van floor does not get in the way so much. I would be comfortable to haul a bike with this with one strap in the rear wheel. Normally I strap my bike with four: One from the rear wheel, one from the front wheel and two (one each side) from the upper front shock mount. Those three straps in the front are basically just to keep the bike from leaning side to side and they are very inconvenient to put in place and take a lot of storage space from the van, this system eliminates the need for those straps as it keeps the bike straight! I have basically the same van, a VW caravelle T6 and I haul my Ducati Desert sled with it. The caravelle version has sound proofed flooring from the factory and I would not like to make a hole in it to install this kind on system but when I get next van, it might be something that can handle this system🤔
Very good video! 9 hours hours editing and filming this is quite fast work! This is very professional looking video!😁
Nice vid, nice solution. I am used to straps for the last decades, works for me. But you need extra fixing points in your van. Hope you reworked Rally Raid suspension works just fine. Günter/Nürnberg
You really stretch this out
First big pot hole or big bridge bump could it come out?
