Goplus Motorcycle Hitch Carrier - 600LBS Heavy Duty Carrier with Loading Ramp, Ratchet Straps, Fit Up to 7.5' Wide Tire

I have a Kawasaki Z650 that weighs about 415lbs. It was great to use to take my bike on a GMC Acadia from South Carolina to Michigan and back. I did need help getting it on, mostly because I was nervous but also because I am 5'5" 125lbs so I thought it was best for the safety of my body and my bike to get some help.

I was very skeptical at first when I purchased this carrier. I was not sure of how I would like putting my motorcycle hung off the back of my car. However once the carrier arrived and I was able to put it together I realized that it is INCREDIBLY sturdy. With that strength does come weight, and it is definitely around 100 pounds, which does make it a little cumbersome for one person. Its manageable to move, but much easier done with two people. I have about 500 miles on my carrier now, all with a 2016 FZ09 on it, which is supposed to weigh about 420lbs, so well under the rating of the carrier. The ramp is long and makes loading with one person possible. Grip-tape on the ramp would be a smart upgrade as the ramp is very slippery when wet.I also recommend that you strap the wheels down to the carrier rather than just the regular places, over larger bumps it will move up and down more because it is cantilevered out over the back. When I strapped it down like it is in the photo it didn't move an inch, and I felt confident in it staying there.CONS:My only three hangups are that it has a weird wobble (not side to side, more forward and back) on the end when it is loaded, that is why in my photos I have additional straps that go to my roof rack to fix that. The straps are not necessary at all, its just for my comfort, and adds a little extra safety. My second one is that it is very hard to see taillights behind the motorcycle. This isn't the carriers fault, its just a characteristic of these carriers, and I am planning on getting taillights to fix the problem. There are "Magnetic Taillights" on amazon that require no tools and will solve this for about $15, for those who don't want to drill or weld on taillights. The last is that the stabilizer does not come with a way to lock the bolts in, I went and bought 4 lock-nuts to keep the bolts from loosening themselves. Its not a big deal, just something to keep in mind.SUMMARY:Once I get going on the highway I completely forget that the bike is there. Even on my car which is close to maxed out capacity wise, so if you have a car thats better at towing you should have no issues. I have cruised the highway at 75 with no issues at all. Overall great product and much more convenient than owning a trailer. (Apologies for the photos being up-side-down)

I transported a bike that was about 450 pounds without any issue using this, although I only rode about 20 miles. I did end up keeping this on my trucks hitch for a few thousand miles of driving without any load on it without any issue though.My only complaint was the packaging. It came with a few bends, bruises, and scratches on it due to most of the parts just kind of thrown into one box without much padding between them. Each part should really be individually wrapped before shipping. The box itself was very sturdy and well done so no parts were missing, but it was a bit of a jumble on the inside. The package that the rails (what part the bike sits on) was also a bit beat up and not quite enough padding on the inside, thus causing me to need to bend a few of the lips back into place with some pliers as well.I was pleasantly surprised to find it came with a hitch stabilizer, allowing me to return the one I bought for $20.Just make sure to account for the whole bikes weight when purchasing these. I have seen some reviews where a bike was around 600 pounds and they complained that this product did not work well, while if you looked up that same bike the dry weight was 620 pounds while the "wet" weight or with oil gas etc., was well over the 650-pound mark.

I recently purchased a golf scooter and I wanted a good heavy-duty trailer for longer trips. This thing fits the bill and then some. The wheel chock is nice and this thing is really sturdy. I purchased a separate hitch stabilizer to help with the (minimal) sway but for this scooter (100 pounds) this thing is perfect. In fact, it's probably overkill. But for long trips I have no concerns about it. If I have any issues while transporting it from WI to AZ, I will update my review. But as of now, 5 stars.

After reading countless reviews of multiple manufacturers I chose this one. I assembled it, installed it, and loaded my 890 on it. I took my bike to have it weighed and it was 473lbs. After loading and securing the bike I took it for a test drive. That was a little sketchy. The bike wobbles and sways more than I liked. The tung of the carrier was longer than I liked so I cut about 5" off and re-drilled the receiver pin hole. Now there is less leverage tung. I also took some fender washers(very thin) and slipped them in the gaps between the tung and the receiver to reduce the amount of play. That drastically reduced the movement all around. Lastly, I connected a sinch strap from the bike's front fork to the car roof rack. That made the bike much more stable preventing it from swaying forward and back from bumps and braking/accelerating. Last and MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!, the speed you can drive, as stated in the instructions, is 55MPH. On the rack itself is a sticker stating no more than 60MPH. I can see why. So I drove 200 miles at 60mph. Yes, it is slow but, you get better gas mileage and you are less stressed at your destination because it was a more relaxing ride. I have made several trips now and the rack is holding up great.
