Smile paddock stand, front wheel all the way to the seat guard or seat bulkhead whichever is fitted, use a tie down to anchor the frons end to the guard or bulhead. there should be 2 loops 1 on each side at the front and rear. I moved hundreds this way without a prob.

My advice:

No stands at all, tie both bikes in the same way as follows ... have the bike pushed forward so that the front wheel butts up against something. Put a cable tie around the fron t brake lever holding the brake on (doesn't need to be very hard). Then tie one strap from the rearset on the outside, diagonally across the bike (seat) then over the front of the other bike (shouldn't touch it) coming forward and securing to the roof handle on the opposite side -pulling the bike forward-. Another strap going from the inside rearset, diagonally across the bike, and attaching to the front roof handle on the same side as the bike (i.e. not the one you used for the first strap) -also pulling the bike forward-. Then finally have one strap going from the outside fork or triple clamp or something, diagonally across the bike and securing on the rear roof handle on the opposite side -pulling the bike back-. Basically tie each corner to the diagonally opposite point on the van roof.
Repeat for the second bike. None of the straps need to be super-tight, you don't need a ratchet strap, just a locking strap pulled hand-tight will do. The main object is to stop any lateral movement of the top of the bikes, the rest sorts itself out.

This has worked the best for me (and a load of other people), doesn't work loose, and the suspension isn't compressed. If you think about the forces involved it is more stable than tying a bike 'down', and if things loosen up a little during the ride, it usually is still OK, unlike tying 'down' which always seems to need checking and re-tightening.
