I have a 24 foot Class C. I'm looking to set it up with a motorcycle/moped rack on the class II receiver so I don't have to tow my car. I have no idea what I need, the moped/motorcycle will need to handle two people and go up to 60 miles per hour. Can anybody give me ideas on what I need, or maybe a website to look at. Thank You.Moved to General RVing Issues forum from Towing.

I would go with a Suzuki Bergman or Honda Silverwing. Both are good for 2 up riding at highway speeds.Dennis

I have been riding for over 40 years. Forget about motorcycles and mopeds. Motorcycles are for serious riders and those who want to play in the dirt - off road.Honda, Yamaha, and others make light weight Scooters that can seat 2 and travel 60+ miles an hour.

I love my Vespa P200e (a rarity) but Vespa makes other nice, sporty scooters:Vespa Scooter InformationSporty like this:WoodGlue

Your hitch has a capacity of 350 lbs. You still need to consider the weight of the carrier rack.You might consider a lightweigt 175cc or 250cc. You might need to sacrifice comfort and or speed.Good luck in your quest...

Both the Suzuki TU250Xand the Honda Rebel 250might best fit your request. Each of these bikes weigh in at under 350lbs, and can cruise at 55mph. I am sure there are other bikes out there you could choose from, but at least these would work, are popular brands, and could be found used for less cost.

In the past I had a Kawasaki KLR 650 that was very comfortable for 2 people.
I carried it on a VersaHaul Carrier.
Great setup and easy to load.
