Sue B:

Makes sense to me! :-) What doesn't make sense is the notion 
that a motorbike that Sirius was riding around on would be big 
enough to fit Hagrid in the first place! I mean, we're talking here 
about a man 12 feet high, right? Around twice Sirius's height, not 
to mention bulk.

Anyone got any ideas or is this just something the author and/or 
editor never considered, perhaps? Easy enough to do, I 
suppose!
