About the same for protecting the bike.
The shed would probably have more room and be easier to get the bike in and out. Also wouldn't move as much in high winds.
Of course the trailer could come in handy.

Exactly what happened to a brand new ATV I bought years ago and was going to taker it from KS to NY for hunting season in a week. Left in the drive way hooked up to my cage.... b@st@rd stole it. I went to the local shop and told them to let me know if anyone came looking for an ignition. Long stort short... caught him and got it back. If you use the trailer... be sure and secure it. A lock keeps an honest man honest at least.

I already have it in a wood shed in my backyard with battery tender.My thought bout the trailer is I could keep it on the driveway and would be a little easier than getting out of the back yard.Just looking to pro and cons of storage in a trailer.A trailer doesnt have nealy the same amount of wood as a shed and trailers have metal roofs which could make it hotter than a shed I guess.
