Covered trailer for two bikes
I'm looking for the best solution for a low-riding (barely above axle) covered trailer with brakes and suspension that can hold two bikes and some tools.
The reason why I want a covered one is that we'll be taking the bikes on longer trips to track weekends and I want them locked up.
Show me what you got

Well.. Here is mine. Not extremly lowslung like some I´ve seen, but it works very well.. We routinly carry my SPS and my brothers 1098 to the track and on LONG trips with no issues. For two bikes you really dont need a braked trailer. I haul this one behind my BMW 320 Diesel (170hp - 290 ft/lbs) and it has no problems stopping or hauling at all. The size is perfect for two bikes and its a breazy to load using the built in ramp. If i where to complain, it is that it is maybe just alittle to narrow since the handlebars are JUST clearing each other, but then again its slightly narrower then my car so its really easy to park and reverse. I can legally haul 550kg/1220lbs of bikes and gear in it.
Here is a pic of when we borrowed the same model from a friend before we bought ours.. Just to get a feel for the size.

Why do I think this guy in Sweden didn't help the guy in Canada very much?

I've always wanted an enclosed hauler for my bikes and I may pony up and get one before summer time. Hey if you can afford a ducati then a nice covered trailer shouldn't be out of the picture.

Me too..
I have been keeping my eyes out for one as well. I would like a 6x10 or bigger to haul two or more bikes for weekend trips and track days. If anyone comes across any good deals, let me know!

Classic CVT127TE-M V-Nose Motorcycle Trailer - CVT127TE-M.HTM
I own the next size smaller trailer (CTV 85) which an be used for 2 sportbikes (tight). They're well made and priced ok. No brakes, but I guess you'd need the next size larger if you feel you must have brakes.
