I am sure there are some weird and wonderful vehicles on here being used to transport bikes around.
Even if it is just shoved in the back of a Mondeo, wheels on, post up your pics.
Here's mine, Santa Cruz Nomad C, Halfords rack, Z4, ready for a lads weekend on Dartmoor. Not sure how much riding there will actually be given my group of friends.

After splitting with my now X I needed something more practical than the Z4 from the original post as my only means of transport.
Just fitted my Thule rack and bars today that I picked up 2nd hand.
The 591 only just fits this bike with the forks in their lower travel position, which I am surprised by.

The down side of the roof bar option is they are far more of a pain to fit/remove. So you are more likely to just leave them on all the time, which will reduce mpg and possibly create wind whistle, depending on the type fitted.
However there is loads of it on ebay and facebook market place to be had. Got my Thule roof bars, feet, fitting kit and 591 rack all for under £130.
If you find out the codes of the parts you need and search for them, instead of by car model, it can be quite cheap to purchase all the bits separately.

Oh the bitter irony. Even if it is just shoved in the back of a Mondeo, wheels on, post up your pics.
After selling the Z4, to replace it with a more practical R32, I now find myself in the position of having sold the R32 for a more fuel efficient Mondeo, thanks to a new job that involves some commuting.
Whilst I don't have a photo, I can confirm the Nomad goes straight in the back, wheels on.
