It is going to be very difficult to carry a Stratus XP hung lengthwise across the back of a vehicle. With both wheels on, even the standard size is 92.5" long. That's almost 8'. If you take the front wheel off, that would reduce it closer to 80". That might be manageable on a special carrier.
This is always a problem with the LWB bents.
I got very lucky with my Sun EZ-Rider CLWB. Even with both wheels on, it just barely fits inside of my compact Acura Integra hatchback. I couldn't believe it when I got it in there. It looked impossible. My car is only 178" long, which is about a foot shorter than a Honda Accord.
