Motorcycles and RV'ing
Good morning. I started the thread on getting your motorhome painted in Mexico and out of that came a discussion of motorcycles so...
I am a BMW rider and drive a Class A Georgetown. What do you ride and drive? I am just curious of the mix. For instance I think toy haulers will prefer dirt or dual purpose bikes.
Your thoughts?

KTM 350EXC. Class A gasser as we tend to boondock in remote locations where the higher ground clearance/lighter weight are an advantage. Bike resides on either a rear rack (custom built) which allows for a toad or on a trailer with our SXS. Ride about 90% dirt.

Well,
Been riding for decades and, we've also taken our '08 Honda GL 1800 Goldwing along on our trips by either hauling it on a Hydralift on the back of our 36' diesel or, we now haul it on a Rampage lift, that's in the back of our '11 GMC Sierra 1500 extended Cab 4x4. But, I recently acquired a neat little 2007 Yamaha TW200 so, I'm gonna put it on a Versa Hauler on the back of our Motorhome and tow our other toad.

I ride a 530KTM EXC mostly on desert trails and dirt roads. Been riding the dirt bikes for 50 years. I also ride my 2012 Goldwing on the highways around the country. Have ridden a variety of Harleys for the 36 years before changing over to the Wing in 2012. I seldom transport the street bike but when I do it goes in a trailer. Putting those big bikes on a lift on back of the motorhome just looks ominous to me. We mainly tow the Jeep and save the street bike for designated bike tours.

We ride a 1994 Goldwing GL1500SE with a Friendship I sidecar - we don't take it with us when we're in the motorhome because we can't tow both a car and a bike, and a car is more versatile for us.

I've been riding for 53 years. I've motocrossed, road raced, taught motorcycle safety, and ridden all over the danged country. I even met my wife at the race track where she came to watch her brother race.
Current rides are 2013 Yamaha FJR1300, sort of a hot rod touring bike. And a 1999 Kawasaki ZRX1100, kind of an angry-sounding hooligan bike 
When park hosting close to home i'll take a bike for my days off, but when traveling I leave them at home. RVing is my together time with my wife, and I don't want to make that about me.

'76 Moto Guzzi Convert
'04 Moto Guzzi EVT
'78 BMW r80/7
Homebuilt trike with Guzzi power.
I have not hauled any of them, yet. Well, at least not by choice.  As I go mobile I need to sell the '04 and the '78 get a hauler for the others. I decided against a lift due to the trailer tongue weight and axle load resources they consume. I see the lift as very convenient for a bike, but rather limiting for anything else (non-tag). I'm toying with the idea of converting a 17', '93 Layton TT into a toyhauler by replacing the back wall with a ramp door and stripping the goodies out of the interior.

We have a GoldWing and a 35' gas Class A. We have a trailer for the bike and a towbar for the toad. We tow whichever we want to have at our destination, unless we want both, then she drives the car and I tow the bike.
