Quite an inventive idea, but.... Getting into those tight spots does no good when, if the car is dead, you can't pull the car up to get the holds under the tires. How would you get the car onto the tow without a wench which couldn't pull the car up due to the lighter weight of the motorcycle? Let me know if i missed something.

Shouldn't be a problem to hide a come-a-long in that contraption.

Perosanlly, I think it's a great idea. Get a car out of a high-traffic area so a real towing vehicle can get to it... Could save a lot of time for a lot of drivers!

It's an interesting idea. Bikes with a lot of low end torque rarely get to display it so clearly In my younger days, I used a very torquey 750 twin to pull my friend's Camaro a few miles to a gas station. Got some pretty strange looks from passing motorists.

The one drawback seems to be that the Honda's drivetrain is not suited to the task. It would surely start falling apart if (ab)used regularly like that. Can you imagine what that poor Goldwing's clutch must be thinking every time it moves from a standing stop?

Honda GL1800s had frame cracking issues when they first came out......

This is an excellent demonstration why Goldwings aren't really motorcycles!

Wonder how it works on hills?

lol, i love it! though the breaking issue seems quite scary as it's been pointed out.

I wanted one too so I bought one. Had it about three weeks and took it back. Like driving a noisy truck.

Really? Bummer, I've sat on them at dealerships but never test driven one. I just like them for now, but if I was to get a new bike it'd be an SV-650 before the Goldwing. Sadly, I don't see it being possible for at least 3 years.

Lost a couple of mounting bolts for the trunk on the way home. Thing rattled and too much BS, with the radio and other junk.
If I wanted a cushy car, I would buy one.
