Lowes. 120$ 1250lb capacity.

Fine for an ATV using both ramps, but a 900 pound bike on one ramp is certain failure.

I happen to have these:

1750 lb rating. Being full width is a wonderful thing, and the reason I bought them.

How exactly do you propose to spread the weight of the bike over all three sections simultaneously?

go to HD and get a ramp end kit
then get some 1 X 12's cut to the length you need for the ramp.
I had 4 of them in about 4 foot length and 4 of them in 8 foot ( cut from 1 x 12 x 12') and I used them not only to get my baggers onto my trailer, but my BIL's RK from the trailer bed into the back of my F150... but I will say the one the bike was going over was reinforced along the sides with angle iron to resist flexing

I bought a set of ramps. The center one, about 16 inch wide can handle a large bike. There are two others. same width, will handle a lot less, you guiding your bike up or down the center one. I think they came from Amazon. They are about 6 feet long and arched. I live in northern Ohio if you would want to buy them.
