I have  the flat trailer hitch and used with my 5x9 trailer. I am sure I
had way too much weight with plywood and other building materials.  I
just drove with common sence and it was about 25 miles from .Lowes to
home. No big hurry as this is country roads in rual Texas. No pictures,
and I have done stuff like that before and still . No slams please, it
is my rig. I would think this hitch would be fine to pull a small
motorcycle with out any trouble. I am sure the GoWesty makes a fine rig.
I did have mine instaled and wired by a hitch place(not uhall) that had
it in stock.
Just my 2 cents.
