Yep - I already had a Yak hitch rack (Hold Up - tray style) for wifes van...used it for the first time on the Cayenne on Wednesday - actually doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. Kinda cool in a way - nice SUV with a "high end" bike on back. Not going for roof mounting the bikes - too easy after a long/hard century to miss the tray and have the bike scratch up the roof...but I will be placing a kayak up there occasionally.
Thankx for all the compliments....I'll get a few more pix Sunday after I get back from my first road trip in it....off to Crater Lake for a century ride.

Yes, she's a turbo (can't quite see the power domed hood from the lighting/angle of the pic)....
Only had her a week now, and just had my first road trip. While I don't have exact numbers, I'm pretty sure I just got between 1.5 and 2 times the fuel efficiency of my old '97 Land Cruiser with it's massive I6 and a S/C. So both engines are forced induction and about the same curb wt - but the Cayenne just ate up the miles.
Let me check the several volumes of info that came with the vehicle, and see if I can't get the PCM to tell me what my mpg has been thus far and I'll get back to ya later today or tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay in pix....took yesterday to clean off the bugs from the road trip and then got caught up cleaning up the "toy box" (ie garage).

Thank you for the answer , ok waiting for mpg results i'm think they will be different because fuel in US is 91 octane in here 98 , as you can know Russian without cayenne turbo is not russian lol

Nice bike, but no thanx. I have a 2010 Madone 6 Series Project 1/Sig Paint with full DA and my "back up bike" is a Moots RSL with similar components. Living in far northern California, I spend most of my time climbing, and these 2 rides suit me and my style of riding perfectly. YMMV.
