Eck Posted August 26, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 26, 2009 I saw this about a year ago........it caught my attention, but truthfully, the RSV would be able to pull a car also, but it sure would be hard on the clutch and brakes.. I would never tow a car with a motorcycle anyway. Its bad enough trying to stop when some jerk pulls out in front of you and I cant imagine stopping in time with a car pushing me down the road.. The Burgman would get better gas mile though....if it could get moving.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ablumny Posted August 26, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 26, 2009 Im guessing there's no way your going to back that rig up with the Goldwings reverse system so I assume they never put themselves in a position to need to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted August 26, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 26, 2009 Stopping fast with a car on the back is gonna be a WHOLE LOTA FUN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted August 27, 2009 Share #9 Posted August 27, 2009 I would think that it would be easy to have electric brakes on the car carier just like cages use with a heavy trailer. That would certainally help the stopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted August 27, 2009 Share #10 Posted August 27, 2009 Sort of a role reversal from the old Harley service cars of the '50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would certainally help the stopping. OR a sliding hitch that compresses a hydraulic master cylinder to activate the hydraulic brakes on the trailer wheels. We have several heavy trailers so equipped, from where I (semi) retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus Monkeyin Around Posted August 27, 2009 Share #12 Posted August 27, 2009 The you tube video said it had hydraulic brakes on it so stopping would not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
