i ride a crf250L (140kgs) and it will also be used for my Busa.. not up for bouncing around on planks.. thanks anyway.

Put some bricks under the plank in the middle

Probably best that you get some sort of convex ramp.
Is the transit custom long enough for the bussa?

chriscole · Clubman A

Make sure you don't get one with too deeper channel as its all too easy to scrape fairings on sports bikes

Still thinking Aluminum ramps x2 is my best option. confuse

Busa is specified at 2,140 and I've measured mine front to rear mudguard 2,125

Custom specified 2,555@floor & 2,443@1.2 above.. measured today and Ford seem to have got it right biggrin

They had some a while back at the army surplus type shop near Bridge at Marsh Barton a while back

I bought an aluminium one from Machine Mart. Handled an SP1 into a VW T4 with no problem, and the one review on their website says it handled a Busa with ease.

I didn't really want to part with £80 when I bought it, as I used to make do with a plank for my trail bike, but there was no way that was gonna handle a superbike.

Strap two planks together, have put land rovers onto the back of army truck using this method, i am sure you big bike is not as heavy as a L/R.

if you're still looking try Demon-Tweeks
I have had a home bodged steel trellis affair for years but they just had some lovely ally fold up ones half price so I got one - £35 I think
Takes about 300 kilos too
