Motorcycle on receiver rack.

[TxGearhead]

Kicking around the idea of a small dual sport motorcycle. Probably no bigger than 250cc. Maybe carry it on a rack on the the front of the truck.
How do you get it on the rack? I realize the rack would/should include a ramp. Do you power it up the ramp while standing next to it? I see all kinds of accidents with that. Or at 70 years old will I be pushing it up the ramp onto the rack?

My driveway and lawn have inclines which takes care of half the problem. Bring ramp and ask for help upon arrival or look for grade incline like I do. I have to do this next week on a trip to deliver a scooter to my daughter in OH (600 mi.) I do not want to haul my 7x14 trailer there and back (empty) for 300lbs. No motor, push,at 66 I feel your pain. Best of luck.

A 250 dual sport is pretty heavy. You are looking at over 250 lbs with fuel depending on which brand. The ramps are pretty steep and better to have help unless you are extremely strong and reasonably tall. The biggest issue is keeping it upright while you attach tie down straps.

Have you considered an electric bike instead? They are pretty amazing and much lighter.
