Need Help Please

I need a favor from anyone please. I am trying to purchase a ramp to put my R1200R into the back of my truck and I need to know what the ground clearance is between the ground and the bottom of the engine. You would have to sit on the bike to let the suspension work and make it lower. I have the wheelbase at 58.9" and the bike is not lowered. If you're wondering, I am at work and do not have access to my bike.
Many thanks in advance
Brent

How much do you weigh and where is your rear "preload" set? Makes a difference....
You can ride up a ramp into a pickup? I bet youtube has some good "fail videos" on that stunt!

It does not have to be exact, I just need a rough idea. I have aftermarket shocks on miine anyways and I am average, about 180lbs. Yeah, it seems crazy but they make big wide ramps so you can ride up into the bed of the truck by yourself. I need a ramp so I can drive down to good riding with the kids, then unload the kids off at the grandparents and go riding. So any questimate will do me fine.
Thanks

On a 2007-2010, I'd guess about 10 inches clearance between the bottom of engine and ground -- with no one on the bike. I'm at work, too.
