no the ramp is like 8 inches wide. me and my girlfriend just walked my bike right up the thing no problem whatsoever. driving up would be a little nutty and very risky.

I alway's use a car ramp. You know the kind you drive car up on to change oil. I put that in front of tire. The 02 may not need it, But the 01 does neeed it. But I use the ramp on my 02 anyway. Peice of mind.
And I also use the soft tie's at grip's also. Two tie down's, And she never move's.
The car ramp also help's with bracing my loading ramp, so it don't tip from side to side.

I never had to use a spacer on my 00' to load it into a truck. I have taken it in my dads 95 ranger twice and never had a problem with the fender hitting..... hhhmmm

I hauled my 00 thousands of miles WITHOUT any 2X4s. I roll the bike right up to the back of the bed (Toyota/Tacoma), no problems.

So can one person roll a 550+ pound bike up an 8" wide ramp to get it into a pickup bed? It sounds quite difficult! My tailgate is at least 2.5 feet off the ground, if not higher. I guess I'll have to have some buddies around to help out the first time (maybe every time)...

my girlfriend and I pushed it up the ramp with no problems whatsoever. rolling it down was even easier.

4banger,
I have a ramp that is "arched" so that the steepest part is at the bottom and it levels out more quickly as it gets closer to the bed. I have unloaded and loaded my 12 into my Dakota's bed by myself, so it can be done. However, a helper holding the tail to stabilize it (and to give you a bit of forward thrust as you go up the ramp) is always a welcome addition.

if you ride your 12 up an 8" wide ramp, then you are just plain nuts.

Yep; keep treating it like a dirt bike...
I watched a guy with his 929 ride up his 8" aluminum ramp at the track kinda quick like...& it folded halfway up- CRASH as bike & ramp went into tailgate & landed in the bed...& he flew over the bars into his truck cab THROUGH the rear window...
The results were NOT pretty...

The best way to transport your ZX 12 is to ride the fukin thing or buy a real bike!

I never said i flew up the ramp like a jackass. He probably was going in too fast. I just idle it until i get the front tire onto the ramp then gas it about as fast as someone pushing it. I was scared the first time with the 12 since its so heavy. I didn't want the ears on the ramp to fold in.
Oh well.... In the end its not how you load your bike but when you get to where your going and unload it.... woohoo... RIDE!!
