What is the best way to haul a motorcycle?

Question

I have a CB 175 honda I need to transport 1,000 miles. What would be the best way to do this? Can I rent something to do this? I do not have a pickup truck, but I do have a hitch. Thanks

Answer 1

HELLO

IF YOU USE THE HITCH I ASSUME YOU WILL HAVE TO HIRE A TRAILER?

HAVE YOU TOWED BEFORE?

RESTRICTED MPH ON MOTOR WAY

BEST GET A VAN THAT THE BIKE FITS INSIDE AND PUT ON CENTRE STAND MOVE AS CLOSE TO PASSENGER SIDE OFVAN AND SECURE TO SIDE OF VAN WITH STRAPS/ROPES

YOU CAN THEN DRIVE AT 70 MPH INSTEAD OF 60 MPH ON MOTORWAY!

WORRY LESS AT PIT STOPS

NOT NEED COVER IN CASE OF RAIN

Answer 2

under your ***!

Answer 3

Strap it to your roof or rent a trailer or buy a Johnny Hauler or make a hitch that will slide into your receiver with C channel welded to it and haul the bike behind your vehicle.

Answer 4

Rent the small flatbed trailer from Uhaul.

Answer 5

I've seen sport and dirt bikes strapped across the back of big SUVs. No idea if it's a good idea or not, seems risky for a larger bike but a 175 might fit.

If not, you'll need a trailer with a front-wheel brace and some tie-downs. The idea is to compress the suspension and strap out to the edges of the trailer so that the bike stays upright.

Last option: drain the fluids and stick it in the back of a u-Haul or whatever else you're using. Make sure to pad it so that the pegs and levers don't bend or smash anything.

Answer 8

The cb125 is rather a light motocycle, so consider a hitch mount. Make sure the mount is rated at whatever the motorcycle weight is.  

Wouldn't want to take a chance on damaging it, or the tow vehicle.

These things are a "u" or an "I" beam raill, which lowers, so you can roll the bike up it, tie it down and lift it up and lock it in place. If the hitch is a light duty hitch, it is probably too weak.  So look in craigslist for someone getting rid of a trailer.

Answer 9

If you have a hitch, rent a trailer.
