The only way to carry a motorcycle of that size while also using the truck bed for a camper would be to tow it behind you in a small trailer like the Apogee Adapt-X 300 Folding Utility Trailer - 4' Wide x 8' Long - 2,712 lbs # AT44FR. This trailer folds up to allow for easier storage and has a 2300-lbs payload capacity. You may need a longer ball mount like the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4" Rise, 6" Drop - 14-1/4" Long - 6,000 lbs # D-28 to tow a trailer with a truck bed camper

I've linked a short review video of this trailer for you to check out as well.
