"The bike rack works awesome for my Yamaha TW200 motorcycle. The fat tires on the TW 200 are not a problem. Buy good straps! i have a 3 inch lift on my Toyota Tacoma with 32 inch tires. i was concerned that the lifted truck would be a problem. I have used it on 2 trips to the beach about 100 miles each way. I have had no real problem getting the bike on/off the rack but i have had an extra person both times to insure the motorcycle remained upright during loading. i will always probably prefer to have a second person available on the loading/unloading of the motorcycle but would not hesitate to do it myself if circumstances dictated it. Unloading the bike has not been a problem,but again i would prefer to have an additional body available for this task. Both times i have loaded the vehicle i have powered it up the ramp(not recommended in the literature),but again i have a lifted truck and it is a tough push to get the bike up that high. I am considering devising a secondary ramp to make this a little easier. It would be a great advantage if the manufacturer offered a 18" to 24" longer ramp as an option or accessorary for those of us with lifted rigs, or for those of us that want to make the task easier. Are you listening manufacturer???The great advantage is i don't have to have a licensed trailer sitting on my lot deteriorating in the weather, and the rack is easily stored in my shed. I am a larger strong man and it might be a little more difficult to take the rack on and off if you are neither. The bottom line for me is i don't have to store a trailer or keep it licensed and i can take my bike with me whenever i go on my many outdoor forays."

"Just cause I did it does not mean it should be done. I Have a 27 foot fifth wheel that I put a class II reciever on. The heaviest the trailer could have. {so I was told} I wanted to take my bike, a TW200 on a deer hunt in Arizona, I live in Idaho. I got the bike carrier, shortend the tongue as much as I could that the bike would still clear. Loaded up the bike, about 300 pounds and took off. I pushed everything to the limmit and then some and did it for 2476 miles. No problems. If you notice, the people that complained it was to flimsy, not one had a failure they just thought it seemed to weak, and it does. The carrier is not ridged but it is more than strong enough for it's purpose. These type of carriers creat more tork than the same tongue wieght of a trailer so check for stress cracks in your welds and metal from the carrier to the frame of the tow rig."

Should also get a "Anti Rocking Hitch Wobble Stabilizer"
