Would you or no???

As N4S posted the other day a modded Kat with a trailer, may look nice, how many of us would really buy one or haul one with our sports bike???

Another example of using a vehicle for other than its intended purpose...That is why my car is a wagon :D Larry

Thats what I am saying Larryg. It looks like a good idea, but our bikes are not made to haul like this.

Other than my daughter, I don't ride 2-up because of what it does to my handling, let alone dragging something behind

If you can't fit it on the bike, you don't need it.

Is that a trailer from UNI? The UNI trailers are awesome. One of the guys at the Deal's Gap store rides a VFR and pulls a UNI behind it. According to him, he doesn't even know it's there. Yeah, he drags knees with a trailer behind him. How cool is that?

You would be the only person to say yeah. :bash: If you want to haul anything and it can not fit on your bike, then like No Worries said, you don't need it. Buy a Goldwing or BMW if you want to bring enought stuff to need a trailer. Or bring your bike down on a trailer.

I don't know that I'd try to drag a knee with a trailer back there, but the good thing about it is you can go where you want and haul extra stuff, then unhook the trailer and ride like hell once you get there.

a bike is as much a mode of transportation as it is a beast of enjoyment for us...its there, its got an engine and wheels and seat...if it can handle it..do it. ask a goldwinger...its the same concept, just a different kind of bike. :bash:

He's not the only person.... and what the heck difference does it make what kinda bike it is, goldwing, hog, or sportbike...if it can do it, why not ??? motorcycles are motorcycles...yeah the styling, performance, and use for sportbikes is vastly different..but its a bike, and capable of being a multi-functional beast.

Have you hit your head or what. A Goldwing has its built on the bike. NOT PULLING IT BEHIND IT. If our bikes were made to haul alot of crap, they would have made them with luggage compartments.

Also..buy a tankbag if needed but not a trailer.

A tankbag isn't going to hold near as much as a trailer will. Goldwings are built for traveling yes, with all the luxeries, but the trailers aren't built on or come with it, it's an accessory that many of those types of riders wouldn't be without. :) Im not seeing how this is such a debate, if a motorcycle can do the job you want it too, why not let it do the work so the rider is more comfortable. Sportbike or otherwise, it can do it with no problem at all. Just my :2cents: :thumbs:

If our bikes were made to haul alot of crap, they would have made them with luggage compartments. u need to stop sniffin the diaper bag man :here: ..WTF are you talking about????. Nobody ever said sportbikes couldn't be used to haul a trailer. sportbike or sport tourer, doesn't matter. It can still do the job!! Since when is there a rule stating what sportbikes cant and can be used for ? Why cant a sportbike have the same advantages as a cruiser, in that they can haul a trailer too? what, are we supposed to be just suffer with all the gear and bags on when we can do it an easier way ? :skep: The majority of bikes don't come standard with saddle bags built right on, but thats why manufacturers make them in the first place, as add-ons !!! So people can have the option to use the bike for more than 1 purpose! I hardly think a tankbag is gonna haul as much as a trailer will, and even if it does comes even in the same zip code as hauling a fair amount (depending on the bag itself of course) who in the world wants all that bulk in front them for an extended period of time. Yes they are used to haul stuff, and are very versatile and come in real handy, but why bog urself down on a long trip, if u dont have too. ? And even though wings have saddlebags built on standard, they can get even more room and not sacrifice comfort w/ a trailer !! That's why they make trailers in the first place and they are so popular. :)

Sportbike or otherwise, it can do it with no problem at all. Just my :2cents: :thumbs: :iagree: But also, it just boils down to a matter of opinion. You like it? Fine. Get it. Don't like it? Fine. Don't get it. End of story.

Yeah, he drags knees with a trailer behind him. How cool is that? Forget all that BS!! :bthorse: I would LOVE to see pics of this!!!

I never said you couldn't get one for a sports bike. I just said it doesn't look right nor should you do it. I myself being a person who rides a sports bike all the time knows how it fells after being on it for a long period of time. And if your going to go as far as you need to and need a trailer to haul behind you, your going to damn far on that bike and need to put it on a trailer and take it there. And CJD your right about the "boils down to a matter of opinion". When you ever get a chance to ride up on front of a sports bike, you try riding it for a long period of time and tell me how you feel. I've done it and I know how it feels. I've riden a 7.5hr trip before with plenty of stops on the way to stretch out my legs and loosen up. It doesn't take to long to get right back to the point you just were before your last stop. So in my opinion, if your going to be going that far that you need to pull a trailer with your bike, just put the bike on a trailer. Its a hell of alot more comfortable. This is all just my :2cents:

:bthorse: None of you guys can talk about riding for a long time on a sportbike!! :bash: Ace rode all the way from his house, north of Detroit, to the GAP! ON A RC51!!! Almost got killed like 8 times and still made it in like 7.5 hours!!! :pat:

You just proved my point..if ur gonna ride that far, why not have a trailer..save yourself the agony of all the gear from an already long, tiring ride. having a trailer behind you isnt going to hinder you in any way. What difference does it make how far you've ridden,we've all ridden long distances and know its tiring on the body but thats one of the great things of riding a bike, is being able to get out and enjoy the scenery and be one with your bike..there's tons of people every day that ride for countless hours on end, and enjoy every bit of it. If you have the chance to do it, why not do it. and if so, why bog urself down with all that gear when you can pull a trailer and make urself as comfortable as possible. Yes u can haul the bike if u want..but there's advantages to riding it long distances too alot of them. :skep:

And he knows what its like to be on a bike for a long period of time. :willy:

Yeah....this thread just stayed on TWF for too long :thumbs: :jacked: :jacked: :spam: :spam: :jacked: :jacked:

And he knows what its like to be on a bike for a long period of time. :willy: yes i do, and ur point is ?

btw, its about time we debate something motorcycle related around here, :wink:

You are really onto something here!!! TWF has been a little too off topic lately for my taste! Not that I want a bunch of bike nonsense but it has been a little bit too much joke and bickering central around here!! :2cents:

btw, its about time we debate something motorcycle related around here, :wink: WTF...I think that is a motorcycle pulling that trailer and that would make it motorcycle related. :bash: But we can talk about something else now if you want. :crazy:

WTF...I think that is a motorcycle pulling that trailer and that would make it motorcycle related. :bash: But we can talk about something else now if you want. :crazy: what in the world are you talking about ??????? i just replying to gas man's post about it being too much topic around here???? and us finally getting a bike topic going. :bonk: so, lets keep it going or have u had enuff ?.....

N4S and I were just JACKING your thread!! Call it payback!!! Good topic DJ!!

yes i do, and ur point is ? I was referring to Ace. And on my long trip, I didn't have a need for a trailer since it all fit in a back pack. We can talk about this all night and I wouldn't care 2 *****s about it. I have my opinion, N4S has his, and everyone else has theirs.

I have my opinion, N4S has his, and everyone else has theirs. you're no fun..ur not keeping this going debating your side.. oh well, i could use a smoke anyways. but on ur long trip, u have to admit, it would have been nicer to not have to carry that backpack.

you're no fun..ur not keeping this going debating your side.. oh well, i could use a smoke anyways. but on ur long trip, u have to admit, it would have been nicer to not have to carry that backpack. Go smoke. :lol: The back pack had minimal stuff in it and was very light. :D

Go smoke. :lol: The back pack had minimal stuff in it and was very light. :D yeah yeah yeah...but this whole debate was ur fault for raggin on sportbikes carrying trailers in the first place. :lol:

yeah yeah yeah...but this whole debate was ur fault for raggin on sportbikes carrying trailers in the first place. :lol: And I take all the credit for it too. And I still say trailer your bike down. Don't haul a trailer with your bike. :lol: :lol: :bonk:

And I take all the credit for it too. And I still say trailer your bike down. Don't haul a trailer with your bike. :lol: :lol: :bonk: and I still say your Wrong. but, oh well. :thumbs:

STOP IT YOU TWO!!! Each of you go to your rooms and don't come back out till you can hug and get along!!!

we get along..but I aint hugging him... :leaving: :lol:

we get along..but I aint hugging him... :leaving: :lol: :hug: But I'm not wrong. If I were wrong then I would have heard of these a long time ago since this guy is selling so many to all the sports bike riders and making millions.

:hug: But I'm not wrong. If I were wrong then I would have heard of these a long time ago since this guy is selling so many to all the sports bike riders and making millions. ur just begging to keep this going arent ya. :here: Just becuz you didnt hear about these trailers b/4, doesnt mean they arent/havent been popular for quite a long time. :thumbs:

How long have they been around?? Do you know or does this person have website??

I'll track it down for ya! :)
