For a long long time I kicked around the idea of carrying a motorcycle too. Even checked with manufacturers on how much weight they would carry back there.
The consensus was around 300# max including the mods necessary to weld something to the frame. Figure the bracket to carry the bike is going to be at least 50# & there is not much left for a bike.
My bike of choice would have been the Yamaha TW200 dual sport. Even that is 280# wet.
There are other options involving trailers of various descriptions but then you run into the legality of using them from one state to another.
Hey, as a former Honda owner & still a fan, nice bike.
