I need bigger than that. Hard i know. I would not mind having a 'cut down' normal trailer but i will not have a massive gold wing or similar to tow it with. Would ultimately like to tow it with the 650 when it is on the road. This will mean a trailer that is lighter than about 110kg all up and can fit a cello in. Should be fun.

BTW i will need to be able to fit a cello in it

lots of people tow trailers. my partner uses one [that he built] for filling his lpg cylinders for the winter. ive also seen a goldwing with one, holy rollers etc. some ive heard even have those pop up tents attached to the "lid", so when the hydralics on the lid go up, you can hook a tent and have a home away from home. [google canadian pop up tent for an idea. they have car trailers with them as well... its like a flat caravan, and when you wind it, it rises to full size.

Forgive me, but I'm having some trouble reconciling a Katana and a cello!

You would have to be very careful about weight.

I know that. This would not be for the 250, but the 650 which is 200 odd kg (i think). A cello is about 15kg BTW, bugger all really.

Get a cello outfit which has shoulder straps, so you can carry it on your back. Hell, I've taken a double bass on my bike (just don't go under any low bridges

). Some outfits are more suitable than others (hard case ones are no good), because some sort of hang the body of the cello down below your arse, so you might have to have a hunt around to find the right sort. But hell, it's only a cello, they're not very big (well compared with a double bass anyway

).

Something the size of a plastic 220liter drum on 10" wheels that could be used as a bike trailer when drum is removed?
