I had the mispleasure of loading my 390 lb. Ducati into the back of a U-Haul pickup this summer, using 10' lengths of 2x8" boards for ramps, and then rolling it back out when I reached my destination. Not to suggest you can't or shouldn't load a 540 lb. CB into a minivan, but I wouldn't want to repeat my experience, and that bike was 150 lbs. lighter. It was fine after it was strapped down, but the loading and unloading was tenuous.
