Even with a ramp tray and get the truck bed as close to the ground as possible.
I always back the truck up to a hill, loading ramp or into a ditch. Even with my 3/4 ton 4x4 I've always been able to find a place where a short length (about 4ft) of 2x12 works.

Aint no way in he!! that I would use that ramp. Where do you put your feet down. I load my Ultra on to my pickup with a 10' long ramp that is 38.5" wide. A 12 volt motor lifts it and lowers it, not me.

I looked at it and would never buy it. Did you see the pixs where nobody is actually riding the bike and unless you can push your bike it makes no sense. I have a small bike trailer and a huge toy hauler and you have to know how to load and unload. Going up you have to remember to stop and going down you have to take it really slow. I'd buy only something that others on this site have tried and tested, imho.
