Before I go through the hassle of actually trying, anyone load 2 bikes in the bed ?

As the Ridgeline payload capacity ranges from 1,509 to 1,583 pounds and
Yamaha dirt bike weigh from 212 lbs to 278 lbs. (thank you Mr Google)

My wild-azz guess is Yes; together they're not too heavy and as dirt bikes you shouldn't be concerned with inevitable scratches? Unsure about their length - you may need to twist wheel aside.

Now two big old hog Harleys wouldn't.

Late Edit: where is the beer cup holder?

If memory serves me, someone posted a picture of two sportbikes in the bed of a Ridgeline.

Two similar (but not identical) from the webbernets. Maybe you can measure from front tip of bike to the rear tire contact patch.

• Your bike should be 85.6" tip to tip (not to rear contact patch)
• Ridgeline bed with gate open is 83"

You should be good for two and it "should" resemble the photo below.

Not worried about scratches no. Shes ridden hard and put away wet. Lol

As someone who has actually had two motorcycles in a Ridgeline, the only issue will be handlebar height. Put 2 pieces of 2" X 4" or one piece 0f 4" X 4" wood under the front tire of one motorcycle. Otherwise, you won't be able to spread the bikes out far enough, most likely. Also, The outer straps will be at a 90 degree angle making anything but a ratcheting strap hard to tighten down. I also secure the rear tires with a ratchet strap for insurance, in case a securing strap ever breaks. I also only put stuff in the trunk that will be used for riding, or AFTER the bikes are unloaded. Some people even remove the spare tire and jack.

Thats what im looking for. Awesome.
Riding Vermont, NH then into Quebec in early October.
How you like the 450 ?
I have my eye on that or the 300.
Owned every bike from 950 KTM to this WR and in between. Getting older now.

I simply L-O-V-E my 2019 Honda CRF450RL/L! On gravel and two tracck, it's like cheating! Very fun, stable, fast. Even on single track. it's great. I lowered mine 30mm, using the Zeta "Low down" internal lowering kit. Also put a stiffer spring in back, because the stock one was too soft for my 200 pound body. Agree with Dirt Bike magazine, best suspension in the dual sport class. The stalling issue disappears after break in. Some also have an issue with a jerky throttle response, in first and second gear at walking speeds. Mine wasn't ever that bad, but last winter I had the ECM "reflashed" by 550 Performance for $199.00USD. That took care of the small amount of jerky throttle response. The only thing I'd say is that the 450RL/L isn't simply a larger CRF250/300L. It is a harder edged bike. But, it is very reliable, rideable and fast. I'd look for a low mile used one, with some accesories. Some great deals to be had. ...and don't listen to the internet gossip on this model. It reminds me of how H/D riders used to hate Japanese motorcycle riders! But now it's more KTM riders hating this Honda model.

You got what you needed but I had to post this fond memory form earlier this summer.

I dunno, the HONDA Ridgeline might just spit the YAMAHA 450 out of the bed...

Really, Honda's own ads show them running the Ridgeline with two CRF25 or 450 (or one each) MX bikes in the bed while towing a trailer with their Tallon on it. So I'd say no problem, besides it's probably only about 500 lb for the bikes. Figure half the weigh to the front and you're at 250 lb on the tail gate which is rated at 300 lb dynamic load (aka driving down the road, bumps and all within reason). I will say I asked about the load rating for the tail gate.

So just do it. But if you have the space to do so a wood bed 5x10 utility trailer is just the ticket for easy loading and unloading. That's what I do, but one street bike and one dual sport bike.
