I'm planning on picking up a F3 in a week or so and i'm concerned about getting it home. The ranger we are using only has a 6 foot bed, and I dont know if that is going to be long enough or not. Would someone kindly measure the length of there F3 from the points where the tires contacts the ground on the front and rear. Thanks

 

Looks like 58" or so measured from where the tires contact the ground.

 

I've yet to see a truck that can't hold a sportbike. Leave the tailgate down if you need to.

Just make sure you use quality straps and use them right.

 

and if you have some extra wood laying around, it'd be a good idea to make a tire chock for the front tire.. make a u shaped out of 3 pieces of wood that'll fit the tire in between em, then wedge two more pieces from the u to each side of the bed.. trust me, if u go over a decent bump, or really rough road, you'll be happy you did

 

i used the same truck to pick up my bike it will fit . only thing is i had the bike angled . as mentioned above u can bolt a wheel chuck or soemthing to the bed of the truck n just leave the tailgate down . n use 4 tie downs .
