me too. 8' ramp for an r6. the lower just touched, and the incline is too steep for 1 person. get the longest metal arched ramp available, or buy a couple 10' or 12' 2x12's. 1 for the bike, 1 for you to run up along side. It's always nice to have a couple buddies around to help, but you're better off having something you could use alone, just in case.

 

Yeah I wanna pick up a bi or trifold ramp so like you said I could get the bike down by myself. Im gonna ride the bike up most likely - unless I get chicken **** and back out but my friends ride their bikes up and it doesnt look that hard. Anyway, I just used that calculator to see what it said lol - based on the info I entered it says Im good with a 5.5' ramp As Tylus showed above the vertical rise from the truck is 35". The ground clearance from the bike is 8" and the wheel base is 56" equaling a 5.104166666666667 foot ramp lol. Hmmm Im wondering if a 6 foot arched bi fold would be good enough? Metcalfe - is your ramp a straight ramp or an arched one? Im starting to think the arch is the difference between scraping the bottom and not

 

Yeah I think Ive seen you on SL too. Thanks for the welcome. I'm still trying to decide if a 6' arched ramp would be good enough or I need something longer

 

my ramp is an 8' scaffold plank. you don't want anything shorter than 8'. The arch should make it easier, but 6' seems like it would be way too short.

 

You need something longer then 6', beleive me.

Even a stock 2005/2008 Tundra, need more then 6' of ramp to get a speed bike in the box.

Maybe 6' with an arched ramp... I know with my lifted F150 (05 FX4) i need more then 10' strait ramp to get my GSX-R 1000 in the box hahaha. When the front wheel get in the box, the header hit the tailgate and you're ''stuck''. Just lift the end of the bike and you're good to go.

 

its a pain with any ramp, do yourself a favor if u plan on loading it up frequently and buy a small trailer.

 

Pick my truck up on Tuesday so we'll see whats up. My friends gonna let me borrow his 6' arched ramp to see whats what. If 6' arched is good enough I'll just stick with that but yeah based on what everyones saying I'll probably need longer. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks.

 

I have added springs on the back of my f150 which means its porob 2" taller than stock. I use a 6' tri fold ramp for my 08 Busa and it works. Its close to bottoming out though. I back my truck up to the edge of my driveway and that way the rear of the truck is pointed downward and loading is easier.

 

Thats good to know. Im keeping the truck height the same. How about unloading your busa? How about unloading when youre not in your driveway? I got the same thing - my driveway is on a hill so it'll be easy to load but probably a pain in the **** to unload when Im at the spot.
