3 choices for hauling motorcycle

I'm planning a road trip early this Spring. I'm planning to drive my truck and haul my motorcycle. I have a choice of 3 different ways to do so.

1. Load motorcycle in bed and strap it down. It's a short bed truck so the tailgate has to be down.

2. Carry the bike crosswise on a hitch carrier that fit in the 2" receiver on the back of the truck.

3. Same as #2 except using receiver on the front of the truck.

Since the decision is some weeks away, I thought it might be a fun discussion to hear opinions and more importantly rationale and even better experience supporting said opinions.

Below are some pix of the truck with motorcycle on the front (#3).




So what do you thinkl?
