width wise will it fit? set wheels on wheel wells? or back it up the ramps with front wheels on tail gate?

Maybe backwards with the tailgate down? But it looks like that's only if you have the long bed.

Dimensions of the Ryker are" 92.6″ L x 59.92″ W x 41.73-41.85″ H

A range if 100-150 miles is only limited by your ability to find gas stations. My motorcycle gets about 120-140 before the gas light comes on but it doesn't limit where I can go.

As far as hauling, the Ryker is definitely oversized for any practical in-bed hauling in our trucks. A trailer would really be your best bet. How often do you plan to haul it somewhere though rather than ride it there? Do you currently haul a motorcycle on road trips? I only ask because if it isn't very often then I definitely agree that a trailer seems like overkill.

I don't currently have one, so this is all new to me. Figuring out how often I would ride it is something I need to work out to justify buying the Ryker. I'm in central MD. Between the Delmarva peninsula and the panhandle there's plenty of places for a "ride." But if I'm going somewhere a bit further, say like OBX, I don't think I'd want to have to stop 3 or 4 times to fill up.

I guess the range has me worried because my daily commute is 80 miles round-trip. In my head I'm coming at it from perspective of "do I want to fill this up every day?"
