2x12 Ramp for dyna

I have a 10 foot covered trailer. It came with two 2x12 ramps. I used them to put a full sized riding lawnmower on and off. Worked well. What I was wondering is will this hold my Dyna? Or should I put a brace on the center of the plank?

Pictures of the ramp... or a better description of the metal they are made from?.. .without knowing that, I'd def suggest a center support.

2x12 spf lumber. I have two of them with metal ends designed to pin to the trailer. I think they would be OK but maybe a center support just to make sure.

I have ramps like this, seemed a little flimsy so I screwed a 2x4 to the back along the length. Worked fine for my Dyna.
