Post moved to Caravan, towing & technical forum. Moderator
I've a motorcycle trailer, Trelgo Mono PM 8" wheels, where the quoted capacity is 200kgs.
One of my bikes I need to tow has a quoted dry weight of 245kgs.
Would I be pushing my luck trying to tow this big bike on this trailer? _________________ 1996 PE8W, 1994 PF8W*2, Gilera Fuoco, and a Smart Electric Drive. |

It would probably manage okay but i don't know where you'd stand with insurance, it might be better to hire a trailer i think they are only around £25 a day.

Short answer NO! Dry weight of 245kgs means it'll be even heavier with fuel and oil etc added. Those little 8" tyres are not really rated for anything really heavy anyway. Like Chris says, Insurance wouldn't pay out, why take the risk? Ebay sometimes have some bargain single bike trailers.... _________________
