Barry, the one Harbor freight sells can hold up to 600 lbs. While I may not trust it at the limit, i think for something that light it should be more than fine. The best quality ones that I know of and was looking into at one point are sold by Mototote on their website. Not cheap, but the best ones I have found so far.

If it were me, I'd rather rent the motorcycle trailer from U-Haul for $14.95, if I can't borrow one. Done it many times.


Interesting tidbit - I saw a big Can Am touring Spyder strapped on a big hitch carrier on huge RV. I guess because they didn't want to pull a small trailer with that same hitch? SMH, looked very precarious and risky.


Be careful, some of those budget hitch carriers look exactly like budget hitch carriers.

I had a Harbor Freight one many years ago... It seemed to be well built and strong enough but at the time I was using it to transport my 1980 Montesa Cota 200 trials bike that was less than 200#.

If I didn't need to transport our bikes for the LCR I would loan you our 7X14 enclosed trailer... You could even sleep in it...

That sounds exotic.
