These are the ramps Max Power has. They're freaking awesome.

yep had those same ramps - great ramps!!

just be careful if you have a big truck....my truck is scary to load with 6ft ramps, im going to try and buy some 8ft ramps once i get back to work

i want those harbor freight ones but I need at least a 10ft for my beast of a truck. Discount ramps has some nice ass long ones but are like $500, at that price I might as well buy a trailer

you could set one up for the bike, and one to walk on...8ft, so they still fit in the bed, isntead of 10...and cheap

comes to i like 125 shipped i think

I don't know why, but for some reason I feel like my dumbass would lose my balance and drop my bike

never done it with a street bike, but this is how i used to load my dirt bike...the big rectangle folding ramps are much easier and stuff, but ive made these individual ramps work before....granted my dirt bike was lighter than a street bike

I basically have three of this size aluminum arch. The first I bought by itself, supposedly rated for 750 lbs. Gets my 200lb dirtbike in and out of a Tundra with minimal effort. I bought two more as an ATV pair, supposedly rated 600lbs each, to put on either side to back the sportbike down and ride/straddle it up. I can't push the 400lb sportbike all the way into the truck by myself. Sometimes I'll back it down one ramp myself, although it does make me a bit nervous holding the front brake and balancing while I climb down form the bed. I'll push it up one ramp if there is someone else to give it a final shove once I climb up into the truck, and once I was in a big hurry and managed to clutch it up there, but I stalled it quite a few times and my bike only starts in neutral - real fun trying to balance the bike holding the clutch and the brake and shifting with my leg.

Arch helps with both pushing and lower clearance, if you can park the truck so the tailgate is lower it helps and vice versa, if my truck is level and I actually ride the bike up or down the lower drags a little bit. Make sure you tie all the ramps to the truck, and remember they can still slide off sideways.

P.S. IIRC I got these a little cheaper off eBay from the same company. Also, I think they might be chinese, so don't push the load limit too far.

yea...my heavy ass 600 grizzly knocked my ramps off once, no idea how...riding up into the truck, got to the top of my ramps (yes they were strapped to the truck) and then boom came crashing down lol
