I have lots of experience with carrying and towing maxi-scooters starting with the older Honda Elite 250's, a Honda Big Ruckus, then our Suzuki Burgman 400 and now trailering both the Burgman 400 and a Honda Silver Wing.
Bottom line, when we bought the Burgman 400, it was simply too heavy for our E-350 based Class C to handle ... notwithstanding a custom built carrier which included a worm drive lift system and built in load binders for additional stability.
The key is your hitch receiver weight capacity. If your hitch receiver is not rated to carry the weight of the carrier plus the weight of a "wet" and farkled out Burgman 400 (i.e. top case, accessories etc), then I wouldn't risk it ... especially with the cantilevering you're bound to experience.
That's why we now trailer our maxi-scoots in a cargo trailer behind our F-250 diesel truck and TC using a custom fabricated hitch receiver extension to reach the trailer's coupler.
The Versa Haul could undoubtedly handle the load. The real question is, can your vehicle?
