Motorcycles and RV'ing

[Bykerboy]

2006 Monaco Knight with a Hydralift for hauling the bike. My current ride is a BMW R1200RT but I have also carried a Honda ST1300 and Harley Davidson Ultra Glide.

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.

We having using the HYDRALIFT on our Newmar for our 2014 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited for the last 2 years. NO problems at all. It lets us take the Spyder, the tow car, etc. Great set up. P.S. they are both for sale.

Your thoughts?

We have 35’ gas rig. We travel to find the best motorcycle roads so we’re road bikes only. We have a hyd. Lift which allows to carry one bike at a time and still pull our toad. Our bikes are a Road King, Aspencade and a BMW, which bike we take depends on what roads we’re looking to ride and what events we will attending.

2003 Goldwing Tri Car
We are trying to figure out how to haul it.

Here's our 2 bikes.
The larger of the 2 is a 2000 Yamaha Classic.
The smaller is a restored 1984 Honda Shadow VT500C, we carry this bike on a modified carrier on the back of our class a. Its lighter weight so easier on...easier off.

[NeilV]

Aprilia Sportcity 250. Just over 300 lbs but will carry over 460 lbs and is Interstate capable riding on 15 inch Metric Cruiser tires.

Light enough to carry on a 400 lb capacity hitch rack and plenty capable having the same load capacity as many 2 passenger cars.

Plus its Italian style with reliability up there with the best Honda, etc have to offer.

2 Goldwings in a 44ft fifth wheel toyhauler. Full timers.

We ARE still fiddling with the idea of a CanAm Spyder, but that would put us straight into the tow situation. Not sure that’s a bullet we are ready to bite. Wish there was another way around it.

Check out the "Idaho Tote". We have one for our Can-Am RT Limited Spyder. We also have a like new HYDRALIFT with upgraded hydraulics and the Spyder platform for sale.

How heavy a bike and is cooling a problem?

The last motorcycle I owned was a 1984 Magna. Custom paint job with a Viper Blue painted by a freind in a Sikkens lab with gold leaf pin stripping and graphics. That thing was fast. Wasted a lot of crotch rockets who couldn't believe what just beat them.

Sold that a few years ago.

Bought the Class C about 4 years ago and did not want to tow anything but I needed something my wife could drive in an emergency.

Enter a Suzuki Bergman. Don't laugh, that thing will hit 80 with both of us on it.

I have the same setup on my Fleetwood Terra 31TS, and love it. You don’t even know the Burgman is back there. I’m thinking of going from a 200 to a 400 or even a 650 Executive. I have to look into the weight issues first.

Love my Suzuki Burgman!

We have a DP and carry Suzuki 800.
Could you please direct me to the thread on Painting the RV in Mexico. Very interested.

That Sportster is absolutely beautiful. Hands down one of the nicest restorations I have ever seen.
