Trailer for BMW r1200gs?

[bobnick]

Got a new Motolug a few months ago, not used it yet.

Four ratchet straps, two either side. One off rear pannier cage and one from rame, under seat. Careful they don't touch anything otherwise rubbing/damage.

Thank you, so both straps pulling forward?

I am looking to trailer my BMW, quite a lump at close to 250kg.

I like the idea of the hydratrail, and possibly for a light scooter I would go for one, but I think the GS will be too heavy for it.

Have looked at side loading - motokug/armitage etc, but wonder if there is any advantage over a traditional trailer?

I am looking for something easy to load, as I don't want to be standing at ground level, with the bike balanced on a ramp....

Any suggestions?

Would you consider a box trailer? We carry our GS1250 GSA in a box trailer and find it brilliant, The initial cost is eyewaterinw but once you have bought it its there for whenever you want it.
