My fiance and I have a 2010 EX. I frequently do trackdays on my 04 Nicky Hayden RC51. We're both from North Georgia and now live in south Florida also known as northern Cuba. I'm wanting to use my fiance's element next month to tow the bike back home to north Georgia for a week of riding some of the best sportbike roads in the country.
I recently installed the UHaul hitch on the Element. Strange little unit with the long bolt spacers and big ass washers and the U bolt that hooks over that little loop thing (what is that thing). How sturdy could that tow loop thing be???
Here's the question. Is the Element really capable of towing a 400+ lb sportbike, given the thing only has a rated tounge weight limit of 150lbs and a tow rating of only 1500.
I see these folks tow those teardrop trailers. Surely it'll tow a bike.
