There is a nice picture of a CRX with a sportbike on TOP. Little less invasive  ;)

My mrs saw the pic when i brought it up, she said "dont even think about it!" and closely followed that with "It wouldnt get past the engineer"...
At least some of my work has rubbed off on her lol

What someone needs to do is build a tube frame chassis back half with a roll bar then mate it to a civic front half...say..having the back half meet the car at the B pillar and have a roll bar at the back half forming into a 6 point cage around the drivers area..granted you would have to extend said car a bit so the bike has a platform to sit on and not need to go as far ahead as that bike is in the car..that way its at least structually sound..

back in the 70s, I knew someone who had an old chevy biscayne that the trunk lid, rear window, and half the roof was removed from, had wooden floors with storage boxes and tie downs in it with a vinyl cover sewn up (including a window) that snapped down on it to close it up. Was the only car I've seen that was a workable pick-up replacement. Hauled tons of stuff in it, but never motorcycles.
