Can't pull a motorcycle trailer and the car on the dolly. I think the bike suspension will act just like the car suspension does on the dolly. If strapped down correctly the suspension on the bike will still function some..

Not to mention that the closer you put the motorcycle to the hitch, the more it uses the coach's rear suspension. Personally, I don't think it's that big a deal, as long as the construction is solid and you follow a proven design. Obviously, you'll need to extend the tongue on the tow dolly to accommodate the motorcycle, but there's the question of how much. The longer you make it, the less tongue weight you'll have, but tow dollies don't normally have a lot of tongue weight, anyway.
Like I said, copy a proven design. Take some measurements, note what material is used where, and have a proper welder do the fabrication work.
