Most twins and some larger singles could handle the weight of
a motorcycle and perhaps even a passenger. Getting it through
the door might be a problem on many models.

For example, my old 1988 Kawasaki 750 Ninja is a tad bit over
500 pounds wet and my 1980 KZ750 was around 500 pounds dry.
Note that these are fairly large motorcycles and a modern 500
or 250 would be even lighter. My stripped down 1973 RD350 Yamaha
probably tops out at 200 pounds or less wet.

A custom design retaining system and removal of the seats
would even make the weight and balance mostly happy. Probably
even easy enough for one person to load. A lot depends on
the size of the motorcycle and how well the design handles the
weight. We'll pretend we have doors big enough to handle it.

The FAA might have something to say about having several gallons
of gasoline in the cockpit and removing the seats or replacing them
as needed. All that is up to the engineers and the lawyers.
I'm just the idea man.
