I have done it with numerous bigger bikes with the rear wheel on the dropped tailgate.
You would be nowhere near the load limit.

I was just thinking about that. The RX3 weighs 385. Just say the weight is evenly distributed between both wheels. That's 190 lbs per wheel.

My buddy Big Dave is 435 and sits on my Chevy tailgate all the time because he crushes our lawn chairs.

My 2000 Chevy was the one with the defective gate cables which they replaced. Had a cousin sit on one and pow, fat ass jokes all around

Those cables were rusting inside the cable braid.
