What size trailer do you need for two medium sized cruisers?

#1 Unread post by storysunfolding »

I recently came into what I would like to call "trailer money". I want to get a trailer that can hold up to two medium sized cruisers, like the 650 vstar or m50.

My dad has a setup for two bikes which works pretty well. It's 6' wide and 14' long and holds the bikes in a staggered formation so the handlebars don't touch.

Two bikes + 2 riders = no need for a trailer.

Then you can spend the trailer money on upgrades for the bikes (and petrol)....
Don't give up.

Not now, not soon, not after being continually knocked down.

If you never give up, you can never truly fail.

I like the way you think.

But an even better idea would be to send the trailor money to me for upgrades and gasoline.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Or when you've found a hobby of buying old motorcycles, restoring them, riding them a bit, then selling them for more money than you put into them to go towards your dream motorcycle but for now you need a trailer to move them around to pick them up, sell them and play with them etc... What would be the ideal size?
