Easily if they are relatively smaller bikes. 2 goldwigs then no, 2 650 Suzuki then yes.
No.
A touring bike and bobber. I stated in an earlier post that I was NOT putting the bikes in the back of a pickup, They won't fit.
Also, wind vorticies act differently behind a pickup cab and not in the way that bikes are designed to be wind resistant. I know, I know, people do it. People also have problems like cracked fairings and broken windshields that do not happen in an enclosed trailer.
 
Thanks all.
I think an F450 is in the cards if it all works out.
careful a 450 has a lower payload -4473lbs f450 4x4 vs 5015lbs f350 4x4 and lower gears - f450 4.30 gears than a 350 with 3.55 gears, so mileage on a 450 sucks worse but a f450 will "tow" 34,100lbs and a f350 will only tow 32100lbs and the F450 have 19,5 inch tires -so only 2 tire choices when you need new rubber so they get stupid expensive. but a F450 had bigger brakes and a tighter turn radius. i picked my 350 for the payload and mileage - no its not the fastest out of the gate but the mileage it worth more to me on long trip ie Alberta Canada to Sturgis ND to Detroit to London, Ontario

I would still go with the 450. The 350 compared to other vehicles is expensive to maintain. Everything seems more expensive for a super duty. I just spent $1600 on the latest service for my 350.
