Stinger Motorcycle carrier:

[Guest black knight]

Hi folks, I am considering buying a Stinger Motorcycle Trailer, I would like some feedback on this trailer, I have never bought a trailer for my bike before and I need some direction from people who have some experience with trailers.

 

thanks.

Ive never seen a Stinger , but am sure someone else in here must have an answer for you. Perhaps if you posr a pic it will jog someones memory, we are all getting older you know and our memories are getting bad. lol

My trailer is an enclosed Continental Cargo 6x10 and I like it a lot, but it does take up a fair bit of space.

I'd be a bit worried about carrying capacity (listed below... 1 bike???)

Love the idea of a compact trailer that's easy to store as I only need one for emergencies and recovery. BUT, my only concern on this trailer is the narrow width of 48 inches. With a heavy bike like a VR or RSV I'd prefer at least a 6 foot wide stance for stability.
