Your touring bike is about the same size as mine. My GF's bike is a little smaller, but there's plenty of room. We both had 4 panniers and I had a 35L waterproof bag on top of the rear rack. You might have a bungee cord or two available to secure the bikes. Have the mid-rear cabin passenger seat up and all others stowed away. Bungee the bikes to that up seat. You may need to drop your seat level for easier loading. Beyond that, no issues with full sized bikes, intact.
This is most helpful with plenty of detail. Thank you.
