Default Best Motorcycle Trailer

For hauling a big twin?

Best trailer? Needs to be easy to load and unload.

You are ignorant. When I retire I'm going to buy a trailer. I'll use it to leave Wisconsin in the Winter, and head South. And I'll ride in temperatures that you can't handle.

Or I'll take my bike on vacations where I want to bring my grandkids, and dog. Not all of us are miserable loners like you .

+1 for Uhaul. Can't beat $14.99 per day.

There's always one that likes to get everyone going, I've trailered mine a few times based on weather and time constraints. I still have my *****, lol. Anyhow, I haul mine in a Toy Carrier, they also went by Areo Shield at one time. Weighs about 800 lbs.

For me, at least a 7'x14', tandem axles and a rear drop-down door.
Large enough for two bikes and it will be easier to resale in the future, if an when you decide that you want something different.

Aluminum trailers are really light and expensive.
You can pull the with a smaller vehicle and you'll use less fuel but an actual "payback" on your investment will take a lot of miles.

Buying used is best if you can find what you want at a reasonable price.

Google Kendon trailers. They can be had on CL reasonably——-sometimes. And will fit in a very cluttered garage when not in use.

I travel for work. A lot. Plus I can't get the wife to take much more than a days ride so if I want to visit riding friends, say in Florida, I have to trailer. Now have a bigger truck to handle the trailer. But I would certainly condone the Uhaul idea.
