Never bring a trailer to negotiate the price of a motorcycle.
Leaves you in a bad bargaining position, makes you look too anxious.
Rent a local U-Haul if and when you agree on the purchase and price.

Well still good advice even if it was unsolicited.

What? There is nothing wrong with being prepared, and the local U-haul may or may not have what you need.

The only analogy I could come up with is:
It's like a guy showing up to look at your motorcycle with a trailer.
I just did it at the beginning of the summer, I have a nice trailer, but when I went to look at my Electra Glide 50 miles away I didn't take it
Showed up, I liked it, negotiated a price then went to a local Uhaul and got a one way trailer.
They are more expensive that way - if you don't return it to the same U-Haul.
A motorcycle trailer is $15 for the day $8 insurance if you return it to the same U-Haul.
It's about 60 if you return it to a different U-Haul.
I negotiated the price down $1,000 so the 60 didn't seem bad. I don't think he quite would have went down a thousand if I just showed up with a trailer.

I have no problem telling the guy No, and dragging my trailer back to my house. I have purchased many bikes, and showing up prepared has never been a bad thing.
