Looks ok for reeeeeeeeeeeeely light bikes.

Somewhere on KB theres a picture of a roadbike mover that clamps the front wheel and leaves the back wheel free to roll along the road.

Are these for full size bikes ? Looks like it fits the smaller Yamaha bike no problem but my YZF450 is 2.10 meters long (Currently building some channels for my ute) So would of thought these would over hang a fair bit on both sides.... For a short trip looks ok....

not many cars will have a the ability to car those sorta weights when you look at the draw bar weight on your tow bar most we fit are only rated to 50kgs

Yeah, they don't look all that strong and you wouldn't want to hit any bumpy stuff. I was also interested in how you would get the bike onto the 'mover' - 120 kg is pretty big weight..

Yes, sister in law does, Random Rider on here.
she uses it for an CR80. From memory there is 2 sizes hers being smallest - not sure up to what size they can take.

her car had no towbar so when she got one fitted it had to be able to take the downward weight it creates. Cost more for towbar cause of that but its worth it for her - she has no where for a trailer plus then she doesn't have to worry about rego, wof & insurance on the trailer.

Yeah seen these before..... the one i saw looked abit more heavy duty but was called a no mates bikes trailer i think, they are pretty trick.. was about 1000 bucks from memory.have to be sure your car is up to it-prob better for a ute or 4wd.
the one i saw kind of tipped though so you could run it up much like a ramp.

good idea if you don't want the hassle of a trailer,but would guess you would need manpower to get the bike on and off the rack?

Its technique. Rachel gets hers on & off on her own

My bike weighs more dry than I do even after a big dinner! It really does come down to technique on putting it on the back.
My car is just an Astra - so had to get custom towbar on - North shore tow bars sorted for me as understood what i wanted.

You can "extend" the bars out as such for longer bikes. Will all depend on the down weight you want to carry.

If you want to have a look at one I'm in Auckland and you can PM me to arrange to look at it if you want - get a feel for it as such??!! In fact my broken bike is still on it!
