With the right hitch and extension it should work just fine…
Here's a photo of my bike carrier on a 48" long double-tube truss extension and SuperHitch.
While you might be within the weight ratings, I Personally wouldn't do it with a standard class III hitch and extension.

I am about to try the same thing. I have a new 48" Super Truss for the Super Hitch. As far as the hitch weight I am OK. The Super Hitch is rated at 1700/17000 and the 48" extension cuts that down to 600/6000. Add another foot for the carrier and it is 500/5000. My bike and carrier are right at 325#.
Sure got a surprise when I picked up the box from UPS with the extension in it. Carried it over to my tongue scale. 100 LBS!!!!
I'm hoping my front wheels still touch the ground when I'm done!! LOL
I would prefer to carry it on the front like my last outfit but there isn't anyway to fab a hitch on my winch bumper.
What kind of bike do you have that only weighs 200#?
