Dual hitch, flat tow and motorbike?

[F1bNorm]

I"ve seen folks using a dual hitch adapter to use a bike rack and flat tow a car. I'm wondering, rather than bikes, I would like to use a motorcycle rack to carry a CRF 125 dirt bike (200#). The other choice is to use the existing hitch on my towd, (Honda CRV) and mount the bike rack on the car. The CRV carries the motorbike with no problem but as a towd I'm wondering if there will be tow issues like a wobbling tail heavy trailer?

Thoughts- pro or con?

. A mis conception here, backing 4 down is easy, done properly. Its no different than backing a trailer except you should have a spotter watch the front wheels. Theres no harm to the towed or the rig. warnings are legality Cover Their Backside.

That's a pretty light bike. It's not like you're carrying a Harley or Gold Wing. If the CRV drives fine hauling the Honda, it should tow just fine too.
