QUESTION: How much is the VH-55 RO? Does it come with the straps? I have a 12 honda pilot. would that fit? I have a Ducati 848 EVO. My bike is 450 lbs. Can the carrier hold my 450 lb bike?

ANSWER: The Pilot suspension is rated between 250 and 300 lbs carrying capacity with the VH-55 RO. You may need a suspension enhancement device like a helper spring or air ride air spring for this vehicle. The weight of the Motorcycle may weigh down the back of the vehicle.  Air ride suspension can fix this. If you have the suspension, then you may consider the VH-SPORT RO.  The sportbike carrier has a wider and longer loading ramp and a wider and longer rail for street bike tires.
