Default Possible to tow a motorcycle with an S2K?

I did a quick search and didn't see anything about towing a bike. My bike weighs about 390 lbs so it is pretty light....maybe like having a fat passenger in the car. A co-worker of mine towed his jetski with a Honda Civic (1.6 L engine with less hp and torque) without much problem and the jetski weighed about 700 lbs.

I did see someone towing a boat!! Haha



No way I'd ever tow something like a boat weighing over a thousand pounds but would trying to tow a lightweight motorcycle be out of the question??

I'm sure you'll get some negative replies, but I highly doubt a bike would do anything negative to the car at all.

Honda doesn't recommend towing with an ITR either, yet I've driven ITRs towing a 1500-2000lbs of stuff without a problem, and a buddy towed another car with his.

I saw a post on here where a guy was towing his race bike to the track.

Towing a bike on a small open trailer will be absolutely no problem.

My 03 RSX Type-S had no problems pulling my 5x10 trailer with two TRX450R quads. Used to get around 25mpg while pulling a trailer.

I saw a guy towing a dirt bike on a trailer on I-5N last year. GPW AP2 BTW.
