Diff is the dirt bike rotated around the headstock while the handlebars and front wheel remained in place. Four tiedowns to the tipover bars are too forward and aft to allow rotation like that. I would probably still tie the rear down though.I would just like to point out that the rear end should be tied down as well.
My B-I-L saw a dirt bike in the back of a pickup tied down well with the front end compressed.
The driver had someone pull out in front of him and when he hammered the brakes the bike rotated on the front end... rear end smacked the trucks cab and then went side ways...
I throw a tie down across the back through the rear tire along with my front end being compressed.
