    This.

    Have moved mine in a van three times like this now with zero issues. Would reiterate a few things from the video - the use of a cushion if you have one handy which is easier/less prone to moving than a bunch of rags or similar; turn the bars away from the wall of the van you are propping the bike against, and butt the front wheel up against the bulkhead of the van, and; use the rear pillion rests to ratchet the rear of the bike down from. If you've removed yours, then you might be able to get a ratchet around the subframe, but i've never tried.

    Watch out for the bike's exhaust on the wheel arch of the van if propping up against the right hand side of the van - seems to be right where you don't want it to be on a blade! Not an issue, just be wary when propping up/ratcheting down.
