I will be driving to SoCal next summer from Central Texasand might be buying a second vehicle on the way(3/4 ton Suburban) and towing my Nissan Xterra the rest of the way. I planned on using a tow dolly for the X so I would need a way to haul the Zed as well. This seemed like a feasable way to accomplish this.

The hauler is rated at 500#, which puts it right above the 2010's weight.

Thoughts?

500 pounds is bornerline, I might look into one that's a bit stronger. You see ones with Harley's on them so they have to be strong enough. I have used those types of haulers with dirt bikes before but never a streetbike. For that long of a haul I would want something pretty robust.

+1 to that. I'd be a little sketched out carrying a big streetbike on one of those.

The weight rating did concern me a bit, tht is why I asked before I dropped the bike doing 70 on the interstate.

I will look a bit harder for a sturdier version.

Maybe not that specific one, but I've seen a couple guy carry their R1 and Gixxers on those... worked out fine. But those bikes also weight a little less than the Zed. I'd go for a sturdier, higher rated one just for assurance.

If you can get access to a pick up the black widow motorcycle ramps are great. Can ride up and down the ramp onto the bed.

That trailer in a bag looks pretty cool. But alas, a trailer wont work for me, as has already been pointed out, unless the states I am going through allow towing of two items behind one vehicle. Hmmmmm
