The pulling vehicle needs to be a fair bit heavier than the loaded trailer, otherwise handling can suffer badly and what can be a problem with a car can kill you on a motorbike.

Also, bikes already suffer from a lot of weight transfer when braking hard, if you add to this the kinetic energy of the loaded trailer, that's a recipe for disaster.

So the question remains : what do you need to carry ?
