I bought a year ago a used, one rail, kendon. Previous owner had it for 2-4 years, barely used, kept it outside. I used it already on my scrambler and speed triple. It's a great trailer. It folds and stand, so it does not take too much space in the garage. Built quality is very good. It had a few rusty spots, but considering it was kept outside, it held up well...
they are quite pricey new, but you can find some good deals on used.

hey, I will sell you a Mini, that would do it for you... I hope you have a bonnie have a great day!!!!

Unless you have a space problem I would get a 4' x 8' flat bed trailer with a ramp. Reason being you can always use the trailer for things other than hauling your motorcycle. They are light enough to pull with most any car. Just find one that has regular size wheels, not those mini trailer wheels.

AZrat...
this one is exactly as the one I bought used... spent about $700 locally...
newer ones have tubular rails... good luck

The Kendon is a fantastic trailer -- I have one that I paid dearly for (the previous owner upgraded to a two rail). The design is excellent and all the hardware is top notch. I'm very happy with it and I don't regret the money I spent.

However as Kurt pointed out it's only worth getting if you're _really_ low on space. In my neighborhood houses are close together and lots are really small. I'm lucky that I have a small garage; most of my neighbors don't.

How about a truck? For sale cheap. Not a looker but runs.

"How about a truck? For sale cheap. Not a looker but runs."

Does it come with garbage and/or dogs?
