Wouldn't strap a RS50 to anything. I mean an RS50?

Why?

I have one or two bikes that are currently non-runners. And a way to transport bikes that cannot be used on the road will always be handy.

As for the why an RS50... Well why not? I have my reasons and all will become clear at some point.

Was thinking, would it not be easier to find a standard trailer for cheap? Then either fabricate or buy some wheel "slots" etc and then simply bolt them in. That way the trailer doubles up as bike trailer / general junk trailer.

Didn't know if it would be cheaper that way?!?!?!

keep taking the tablets. Can't believe the 125 version is physically any bigger and at least it's not a 'ped.




Edit2: Back on the RS125's there's a hell of a lot of engine/electrics componant incompatibility between models.

Edit3: So can you fit some honda motocross single engine in then?

Edit4: How about a bikelug folding trailer?

Edit5: Mate with Van?

Edit6: Hire a van.

Edit7: If you can fit a Honda RS125 into a ford Granada can you fit an Aprilia into an Astra Estate (or summit)?

Edit7.7: If two trains leave in oppostite directions, 250 miles apart, 1 is travelling at 80mph the other 65mph, What station should you get off at?

Also would you stick a RS50 on the back?

And finally, do the wheels overhang the width of the vehicle, if so how is it to cope with?

Dead easy to load and unload.

I would have stuck an rs50 on it if you had wanted me to pick it up.

And it over hangs the sides of the car by about 4-5 inches each side so nothing to really worry about (never causes me any problems.)

We don't have an estate

Got a Land Rover, thinking the spare wheel on the rear door might be an issue? Will have to find somewhere near Bristol/Swindon that sells them so we can have a look.
