People all over the world tow with all sorts of vehicles. Heck you already know that a bicycle will tow two small children in a trailer. Some people even put bicycle trailers on minibikes and small motorcycles.

Scaling this idea up is pretty much a trial and error affair. Learning a little from those who have done it I probably woudn't want to trailer more than about 75% of the weight of the bike and rider combination. Maybe 50% to be safe.

Pick your bike and go from there. Keep the trailer as light as possible to maximize the useful load capacity.
