Does something like this actually exist, if not why not?

a Honda optional extra ?

[orangeknight]

why not??? find a car that allows 200+ kg on the roof.... when you do, give me a call and il come and watch you load it!

[RemaL]

Why not!! Because you are pissed as its a stupid idea

I am very serious, specifically for off-road bikes up to around 120kg.

How do you plan to get it on and off the roof?

Via a winch mechanism and extendable track system.

By helicopter and he's not too fussed how much damage the ratchet straps do to the car either.

Don't be stupid.




































For a trials bike you simply ride up onto the bonnet then hop up onto the roof.

Have you given this a moments thought? Seriously? So how long will this extendable track be to create a viable angle? How strong musg it be to support a bike at its md point? How are you going to keep the bike upright while you're winching it up? How many cars can take sucjh a weigbt on the roof mounted so high?

You don't need a track,you just tow a forklift behind you.

At least one moment or I wouldn't have posted it on here

Looks like a perfect solution for my track bike and Mazda MX5.

Not one of the comments above gives any reasons or detail as to why it cannot be done?

no, but they all imply you are a fking moron for considering it?? next you are going to tell us that you want to put a bike on the roof of a fking smart car.

1. The roof would collapse
2. The ratchet straps would destroy the car
3. The car would probably tip over at the first corner
4. How would you get it off?
5. How woul you get it back on again when you've not got the winch
6. Plod would have a field day if they saw you
7. Your insurance would probably be invalid

Enough?
