Has anyone ever towed a motorcycle using a hitch carrier? The hitch carrier itself is made to withstand the weight of a 600lb motorcycle. Is the hitch?

I have a 2005 RX330 with a OEM hitch that I installed myself. I purchased the hitch from a Lexus dealer.

I have a 1000 mile roadtrip/vacation coming up and it would be nice to take along my 1976 Honda CB750.

Considering this one:



Thanks!

How do they stop it from wobbling from side to side? I don't remember what the max tongue weight is but I would think you would be pushing it with a 600lb motorcycle.

I just checked the spec sticker on the tow hitch. Max tongue weight is 350 lbs. I guess I need to seek an alternative.

Your best bet is to get a motorcycle trailer. Look on Craigslist, there's some decent ones on there.

Definitely a trailer.

you realize that the rx does not have a chassis. The trailer hitch is simply attached to the body sheet metal. Put too much weight on the hitch, or any twisting, and you will either rack the body, or the hitch will just pull out of the sheet metal and leave the bike on the road.
