Bike that can tow a trailer?
I'm trying to find the most efficient way to tow a small trailer (perhaps up to a 4x4 size if doable?) with the highest MPG motorcycle available to do the job. This seems to have the potential to be more efficient than even a Geo Metro with a little trailer combination and should be fine for puttering around town and buying alot of groceries for instance now and then.
Two recommendations fine - one for city only (say up to 35mph) and one for highway legal. (highway legal doesn't have to be 70mph under load, just "dont arrest me" speed, maybe 55)
The problem is I have no clue how you even add a hitch to a motorcycle, which ones can take them (all standards? any 650cc v-twin sportbikes by chance for few/infrequent pulling??), and how it affects performance. If it were up to me i'd putter around on a Kawasaki Eliminator 125cc - I know towing a load is alot less stressful than carrying it on the back, i've seen 500lbs moved by a bicycle before on flat ground, but i'm not sure at what point it unsettles the bike, can't pull even a minor hill at city speeds, gets unsafe, or whatever. Any recommendations?
