I use a versahaul for my XT225 which weighs 260# or so. But I use it on the back. I don't think a front mount hitch would be able to handle the weight. You have to keep in mind that the 'tounge weight' rating on any hitch assumes the load is within a certain distance of the end of the hitch box where the coupler goes in. The versahaul effectively multiplies the tounge weight due to the distance it has to extend to accommodate the handle bars of a motorcycle. Long story short, why not use the rear hitch which is more likely to handle the weight safely? I have a 2000 F250 with a class 5 hitch and it still bounces and sways when driving over highway undulations and bumps.
