There are many types of hitch made to take your motorcycle with you without the need of an open or enclosed trailer.
During sharp turns, many of them may create serious issues regarding the bike stability, the stress created to both the vehicle and your motorcycle front end.
The Fatz Tow Hitch Bracket, winner of several top innovation awards, enables your motorcycle to be held stable and upright during both the loading and trailing procedure, even tight corners and sharp bends. The Fatz Tow Hitch easily adjusts for different makes of motorcycles and can be used on different towing vehicles. A video demonstration.
Have a friend who destroyed his front end and bent the frame neck trailing this way. Anyway, I would recommend this for only short trips.
What top innovation awards, from who?
The tongue weight with an 800 lb bike would be a killer on my vehicle. I could only see this for short trips and emergencies only. With all the potential for damage to bike or vehicle, I’ll stick with a dedicated trailer.
Who buys these things? jeez.
I think I will ride there?!?!?
Doesn’t look much smaller than my “trailer in a bag” and wouldn’t be much help if the reason for needing a tow was a flat rear tire. Most flats do occur on the rear tire, so it’s a real point of consideration. Looks much better than the competition they show, but not the one they omit.
So the drivetrain is spinning at highway speeds but both shafts in the transmission aren’t so there’s not as much oil circulating within the transmission. Depending on the bike, this could be detrimental.
Lyle—–exactly what you said.
