GEN 2 Load a 450lb motorcycle - how

[Gdog]

Put some loading ramps on,drive it in the bed and strap it down with some quality tie downs . Leave the tailgate down if you need to and go. Easy as that

How would you?

I haven't decided on one yet, but it'll be an adventure bike around this the weight.

At this point, I'm keen on a ktm 790 adventure R. Or similar from competitors.

The question is how to safely get it on and how to strap or down.

What are you gents doing?

I'm considering a folding atv ramp because they're wider and can stow it in the back. And something 12 feet the to reduce the incline.

I lined my pick up bed with BedRug Impact Bedliner and don't recall if there are any hook points. Should be some. Are they solid?

Would like to haul it in the bed for a couple of hundred miles.

Just looking for ideas.

Thanks.

How about one like this?

I’m too scared to load my bike in the bed. Especially since I didn’t have anyone to help me at the time.

Wheel chock at the front really helps to stabilize the bike.

Jesus Christ there are times this site is a bastion of off-roading knowledge & other times it’s pen full of beta-ass *******. Couple of AL ramps (harbor freight) some
Decent ratcheting or marine grade bungee straps & you’re g2g. Not worth overthinking. I had 1000 lbs of stone in my raptor like last week

Not that I give a shit- but this is such a bitch ass thread in a 1/2 ton forum let alone raptor lol-
Load the ****** thing in the bed

I load my BMW f 850 ds Adventure. It is 100% safe. Just need to tight in proper places. 4 ponts. 2 front on shock absorber, and 2 on foot pegs. Dont need the rear to be tight down, just to avoid not to go left or right on bad roads. I have my truck to carry my bike. Usually the 300 cc 2t Husqvarna, but sometimes the BMW also

They are the number 1 accessory I have for the Raptor

Until you have been laying under a GSXR1000 in your drive way at 4:30 in the morning when it is 20 degrees outside because your ramp broke the tie down and slipped on the ice you will never have a full appreciation for these. https://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/fords-f150-stowable-loading-ramps/. They are THE BEST accessory I have for the truck. When I am dog as tired from riding for 10 hours in the desert and want to load a 385 pound bike in the back with ZERO effort I would gladly pay way more than the 500.00..... One drop of the bike or slipped ramp makes 500 bucks seem cheap... Look everyone on here owns a 60k plus truck and if you want to cheap out on difference between 200 in regular ****** ramps and 500 in something awesome be my guest but as soon as you scratch your truck or drop your bike and you spend 1K minimum to fix anything, that extra 300 bones for good ramps will seem cheap as hell....
