If anybody was wondering, you can fit two motorcycles in the bed!

CaptnMckrakn · Oct 17, 2022

I was able to get two bikes in the back for the track. This is pretty exciting news. They weren’t touching. There isn’t a ton of extra space. But, I was able to get the ramp in between the bikes with a couple inches on either side of the bikes.

Just a smig under. Figuring about 450lbs for each bike plus two people and gear, about 1400lbs. The payload capacity is 1500lbs. So basically right at the limit.

Nice, like the color, same as mine, they supposedly start my build tomorrow. I have been waiting a little over 1 yr and 2 weeks+

With dirtbikes I turn the wheels in and you have enough space for gear bags or totes.

Looks like a cbr600rr and an R6 to my untrained eye.

My main concern would be the two bikes on the tailgate. So call that 450 lbs on the tailgate, and it is a live load as you could hit some bumps while driving.

Did the tailgate seem secure?

Looks good! Looking forward to my bikes riding in back. Who says it isn't a truck?

That was one of my concerns. The weight limit is 400lbs on the tailgate. So it is about 450, like you said. We made sure not to step on the tailgate as we were loading. But all said, the tailgate seemed to handle it fine.

That is a good idea. I’ll try that next time. I was surprised at how sturdy we were able to strap them down. Once loaded the didn’t move at all.
