Ohhhh that's low!!!!!

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..

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!

Stopping fast with a car on the back is gonna be a WHOLE LOTA FUN.

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.

Sort of a role reversal from the old Harley service cars of the '50s.

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.

The you tube video said it had hydraulic brakes on it so stopping would not be a problem.
