Ask Ford to build a bike-specific version of this vehicle

Yes, the brand-new Ford Transit Connect. I've seen
a few of these running around So.Cal. (and upstate
NY on a recent trip there), and I think it would be
the greatest purpose-built motorcycle-hauler ever made.
I've already contacted FoMoCo to suggest they build
such a version of this trucklet. With a built-in load ramp,
wheel chock or wheel well, and tie-down strap holders, it
would be IDEAL for street and dirt bikes!
And what if they took a page from their F-150
Harley version pick-up? Couldn't you see a red and
black (or white) "Ducati"-specific Transit Connect?
Or a blue and white version for Suzuki and Yamaha.
Or black with green or orange accents for Kawie,
Harley, and KTM?
Remember how much we all liked the Ducati-centric
Toyota pick-up they had at the IMS Cycle Shows?
"Build it...and they will buy"....
 
These vehicles are built from parts stretching from a few countries in Europe. They come into the US as passenger vehicles and then they turn them into Commercial Vehicles at the ports.
 
These things are way too small and uncomfortable to drive. I see a Ducati fitting in there with the front wheel next to your gear shift but a Harley or something of that size would never go through the rear doors.

They Payload is 1,555 lbs from the factory on 90% of these.
 
Okay, so they've already got a version that would work for many bikes. GREAT!
As a former Speedway racer, it'd be a ton easier haulin' a Jawa in the back of
this bad-boy than pick-up or a station wagon as I used to! I'm still "sold" on
this vehicle!
