Lets scale this down for a 500 lb motorcycle.

Thanks to Paul Hanson, I can point you to this belly pod for the RV-10
airplane that carries a small motorcycle:

I'm helping a friend develop a smaller belly pod for RV-8 that will
carry a pair of bicycles.

Thanks, Bob K.

Very cool. This shows that even a small light aircraft can carry a
respectable motorcycle.

However, I don't think I'd want to be on that bike during rush hour on say,
the 405 in Los Angeles. My Kawasaki ZG1000 weighs ~600 pounds

Those panniers can carry a weeks clothing for two.

My dream is to have a long distance capable motorcycle in a single engine
light airplane that could do 1000 miles unrefueled. That would allow some
serious surface trips from any airport.

Thanks, Bill D
