Nick, NOT AT ALL.
I've loaded an old-school(70's era) 250cc 2-cycle kawasaki trailbike and a
400cc artichoke sled into the van at one time with no weight problems
whatsoever(i did have the v-6 installed at the time)... and space was
really cramped.

anyways, good luck, and use plenty of tie-downs.  in fact, you could do
what i had done and install a quarter-inch stainless spacer in the seatbelt
bolts and use those as tie-down points. don't know if it was good practice,
but it worked well.


peace, out.
