The only common hitches available for 700/900s are all Class 2 (1-1/4"), including the one from Volvo, with Drawtite being the dominant brand and often found used. I've seen the odd 2" hitch listed for 700/900s, but I have a suspicion these are non-standard Class 2 rated not Class 3 (all standard 2" are either Class 3 or Class 4) as commonly found for 140/240s. I think it's a chassis mounting point strength issue otherwise Volvo would probably have done a Class 3 hitch, like with the 240s. Class weight rating is not an issue for you with bike racks. A 2" to 1-1/4" receiver adapter is commonly available where trailer supplies are sold. It sticks out maybe 8", so best not to leave it on the car.
BTW, you are quite correct to call it a 940 wagon and SW was obvious to me (mine are all wagons). Volvo stopped using a 744/745 designation early on and never formally used a 944/945 designation for marketing, parts and technical manual purposes, but did keep the designations alive in some VIN decoders (so you may see them on the odd vehicle registration certificate). Those designations have still been kept alive by some writers and of course us old 242/244/245 Volvo types know it as a 945 to save us an extra few characters of typing.
