Cruisers and touring motorcycles were designed for a certain type of rider, one who wants to get the most out of their bike by traveling the country. There are two further categories, those who like day rides and those who like to spend days or weeks traveling around on there bike. There are motorbike trailers for both these riders.
If you like to hit the road for days or weeks on end then up until recently luggage has been the major problem. Time away is restricted by how much you can fit into the bike trunk and saddle bags which isn’t that much. This is where the motorcycle cargo trailer has massively increased in popularity. For a few thousand dollars upwards you can purchase a two wheel tow behind trailer for your bike which increases your storage capacity from about 34″ wide by 38″ long by 20″ deep. With many different styles and sizes available, including camping trailers with a built in tent, your space can go up or down depending on your needs and the bikes limitations. Your bike will determine the hitch class, maximum weight capacity, width and height of your trailer. Most cargo trailers are made out of fiberglass or aluminum. If you are concerned about the trailer effecting your ride then you needn’t be if you purchase a quality trailer that has superior suspension.
For the day rider who wants to take his/her bike on holiday, there are many options available. Motorcycle carriers are popular for those with larger vehicle from SUV’s upwards. These are much cheaper than motorcycle trailers but due to vehicle size requirement cut out a lot of people. Trailers are the most common option due to the huge range available from open, fold up trailers through to enclosed trailers in multiple size and budget options. Again, there are restrictions but the advancement in design and use of lightweight aluminum means that smaller cars now have a larger choice.
