Wow, just Wow.. I wouldn't want a 900# motorcycle, never mind 2 of them.
My VFR full of fluids is 540#, My good friend's Concours is 670#. What the heck do they consider a "full size" motorcycle??

As Swivelwheel points out - its not the tires of the trailer that is the problem, its the load on the hitch.
