Are you guys loading your sportbikes by yourself

Are you able to get your sportbikes loaded with just ramps and a decline? NOT dirtbikes, and without using a loading dock. I am considering eliminating my camper shell. I don’t like renting a uhaul trailer every time I want to move my bike

 

One thread, por favor.

A hitch carrier could be an option, the Rack n Ride is probably the beefiest you can get.

I like racknride’s pitch:

“The Rack N Ride MX Carrier is made from high quality Australian steel fabricated using over $2 million dollars’ worth of state of the art Trumpf precision laser and folding equipment.

“Anyway, here’s a pic of a hot nugg standing next to our product”.

 

Will it carry a 450lb sport bike?

EDIT: Looks like they sell one for sport bikes that is $1,100, not available yet in the US

 

The Adventure version would probably work also.

 

Forget the carrier, send her instead!

 

I did a few times. Find a ditch or other place for the rear tires that gets the tailgate as low to the ground as possible and then send it.

Alternately you could lift it. I don't recommend this.

 

This is the way...and one of the few times having a steep driveway comes in handy.

 

Arched ramps will help with the breakover angle on a low ground clearance bike.

 

You said ramps - plural? Easy peasy, throttle it up one ramp, walk up beside it on the other. I've had sportbikes for years, when I started doing trackdays, found this to work the best. In the driveway, at the track, wherever.
Here in my 2006 PreRunner AC.

 

I have a shell which is causing me to look into the hitch carrier option. I've found carriers that are weight-rated enough themselves, but mounting into my aftermarket hitch on my 2002 6cyl Prerunner? Not so sure. Bike is 450lbs

 

I use to ramps, one to walk up and the other for the bike. Start the bikes and clutch it up the ramp.

 

I used to load my cruiser no problem...a victory vegas. Much heavier than a sport bike

 

Haha what the heck is the truckbed choc you're using? That thing is dope

 

There are many single and multi rail trailers to transport motorcycles. Some will fold into a smaller footprint or stand upright for storage. Several trailers cost about $1000.

Kendon, Ace, Stinger.

My bike tips in at just under 500 lbs. If it gets away from me..........something or someone will get hurt.

 

Fairly easy to do with a decent ramp. Be sure to attach/strap the ramp to the truck. Have a wheel chock in the bed of the truck. You will need some kind of step to easily step up into the bed as you clutch it up. Keep the bike as upright as possible, and walk it up, & into the truck. The chock lets you tie it down solo.

 

Thats the pitbull restraint system. All the track guys swear by them, i like the idea, but have never had an issue towing but this way is simple, more secure, less tie downs and things to do.

 

Yup...Pitbull TRS. No stinkin straps

 

Think I see some chicken strips. May need to brake later and lean more into your apex.
