Just got a new Demo 8 (gotta treat yourself every now and again) but it won't fit in the boot of my car without having to remove both wheels and the bars. So going to have to shell out for a roof rack for the motor but looking at all the fittings it looks like mounting the Demo might be a right pain, or worse still impossible!

Anyone got a roof mounted cycle rack for theirs and if so which one?

I'm looking at the Thule 951 and it's going on a BMW 3 Series (2002). Cheers

I would only trust a Thule Sidearm for heavier bikes.

The one I've bought is a Thule 951, it says it can handle bikes up to 20kg. The Demo fits OK, JUST!

Best big bike roof rack hands down, I believe thule makes a similar one too if you insist on thule. It grabs it by the wheels which means no taking wheels off and it works on ANY bike... as long as it uses round wheels. It's also beefy enough to handle DH rigs no problem, I used it back in the day when DH bikes were 50 lbs and it sill worked great. Literally the only way to go unless you have a hitch on your car.
