shelleyholden - We tried hauling a motorcycle on an open trailer. Did not like the idea of it being out in the open and always getting road grime splashed on it.
Then tried a receiver hitch to haul a 150cc Honda Elite. That worked a little better, but still not quite what we wanted. Being in view of possible thieves, partially blocking the rear door, and difficult to keep the scooter from rocking because of the slightly smaller tongue in the reciever.
Found our best solution is a small enclosed fiberglass trailer. Hidden from view, always clean, extra hauling space, can be pulled by our car if need be.
The other thing to watch with a receiver hitch hauler is the weight transfer. The see-saw effect of that weight behind the rear axle.
