Strap the bike in truck bed via weight bearing points: tires, wheels, axles, centerstand, lower front fork.
Leave suspensions free traveling during transport.
Handlebars are designed for human strength to control the bike in motion, not 1000 lb. weight limit ratchets.

Thanks for the valuable and helpful tips, A!
Nice bike!
Gets a little tricky when you're working around fairings.
I have a nice work platform I am bring to aid with the loading and the seller told me his driveway has a little bit of slope so it should be fairly straight forward.
I usually use my single axle work trailer but it's too rusty now to trust for this kind of distance. Having the full size truck bed makes it a no brainer just to ramp it on in. There's built in hooks in my truck bed too I can easily access through the bedliner.
I think this bike has a center stand!
