I have to agree that putting that much weight on your rear bumper is a very bad idea for all of the reasons set forth above. I have trailered 3 different motorcycles from 500# to 860# over the last 4+ years and nearly 25,000 miles all over the southwest.
If you can live with an open trailer as noted Kendon makes the best riding and they stow in the smallest footprint imaginable. I had one for 2.5 years and loved it. I recently upgraded to a 6 X 10' {14' overall} cargo trailer to handle the larger bike and as a bonus picked up a bunch of additional storage allowing me to move some of the bulkier items {BBQ, Firepit, LP Cylinder etc} out of the storage bay on the coach and back into the trailer.
Don 't be intimidated by towing, you won't even feel the small trailer back there and the impact on your mileage will be negligible.
Here is a shot of our setup taken a couple of weeks ago on the Colorado River at Buckskin Mountain SP:
