Motorcycle Trailer

Hello.

I'd like to get a trailer so I can drag my bike around. Any suggestions? Pictures would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
The Evo is not rated for towing. The most you can get away with is a set of tires and tools (AX/Track guys do this). It will not tow a 600lb+ bike.

LMAO that was funny!!!! I don't know if they disclosed the weight of that thing but i can tell you tongue weight is probably 800-1000 lbs. empty weight is probably 3k at least.

A single open motorcycle trailer can be gotten for under 2k and weight at about 220 with a max capacity or 1600 lbs.




I think at reasonable speeds with a good hitch and sensible driving should be no problem. Hell people tow brender up horse trailers with wrx's and audi wagons.

Guys in the UK tow their Evos to the track with VW GTIs!
