For that heavy of a bike you have to go with a hitch bike rack rated for the higher weight.

I really like the Saris Superclamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform rack.

This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.

Then for a hitch you'd need the part # C11391 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2010 Honda Civic coupe. You will also need the stabilization strap # 18050 to support the load. This is required by Curt.
