For what it's worth, you might want to carry your enduro motorcycle on a rack mounted on the front of a Class C. Bouncing weight hanging off the rear is not always a good idea if you can avoid it.
That’s a no-go. I just toured the country with it on the front of the truck camper. I took heavy damage to the bike from road rocks. Windshield took some damage too. The rocks put a small crack in the gauges. They got water in them and shorted out the bike’s electrical system, leaving it inoperative. It also contributed to some overheating of the RV by blocking the airflow to the radiator at speed in 100+ temps going up mountains.
The weight in the rear isn’t ideal, but it’s much better for the bike and keeping the RV cool.
^ Very good points, and while the back end/hitches on class C's in general aren't known for their strength, generally and log rear overhang is far less than ideal for a place to carry significant weight, the motorcycle on the front idea has very limited applicability, IMO. Mostly for the reasons mentioned.
