Well, the trailer is quoted as taking a 400KG bike so I would think yes, allowing for a decent 'safety margin'!

Hi, I have a Hymer 670 - 1993 -I had PWS engineering at Poole, make up a very substantial towbar to allow me to tow, but they also made a Motorcycle rack to mount on it as well. The tow bar is a fantastic bit of work, powdercoated in black and unobtrusive.It does not have any kind of underrun bar across the back, either.
The bike rack is superb, in galvanised, and specificly made to take up to a 200kg bike...I have a KTM duke, and I tow a Vitara soft top.
I thouroughly reccomend a call to John and a trip down to Poole.

I tow a Harley Davidson on the back of my Hymer. It weighs in at 325kg dry, and presents no difficulty whilst under tow or in loading / unloading. The trailer I use can be found here

. The company is based in Bridgenorth, but in view of the distance involved the proprietor of the company offered to meet me at Oxford services on the day of collection. Excellent service and delighted with the trailer. It is quite big through and unless towing a heavy bike, it may be over the top.

I Dave we have managed to buy a cracking trailer secondhand on ebay it is collapsible, in that it comes apart. The centre section tips to allow easy loading and has a winch to winch up the motorbike. Treales trailers sell it for £1000. It is a fantastic piece of engineering, and you can literally load a big bike single handed. Now we have to sort out a tow bar.
