I picked up a bike in my friend's S10 this winter. Go by overall length. I picked up a GS450, which is pretty short, and we had to bungee cord the tailgate up. We could have just left it down and it would not have mattered. Anyways, we used 2 ratcheting straps from the rear section of the frame and then 2 for the front. Some people say to compress the forks all the way, 80%, 25%, whatever. I compressed them about 20%, which gave it plenty of room to absorb bumps in the road and I didn't have to worry about bursting seals.
