As for carrying a second vehicle ... bicycles are far cheaper, smaller and easier to carry...

Tyres on a motorbike might last as little as 6K miles while tyres on a 4 wheel vehicle might be good for 60K miles and they don't cost 10 times as much as the bike tyres.
Just about everything to do with 4 wheels is cheaper than for motorcycles with the exception of the MPG; but even modern 4 wheel engine designs can get good MPG returns.
Somewhere in another thread it was mentioned that a Fiat Panda diesel car will provide "cheap" overland transport, compared with a motorcycle.
What can a 4x4 Panda do?
Regarding taking a motorcycle within a truck, I would look very carefully at the paperwork involved for that; 2 CdPs?, 2 insurance requirements, what else??
