Whether you ride a street-legal dirt bike nearly every day or you have a touring motorcycle that’s reserved for long treks, you may need to throw it on a trailer at some point. Much like motorcycles themselves, trailers are available in all kinds of sizes and configurations. As such, narrowing down the options to find the best deal can be challenging. Thankfully, the following tips can help you get started. 

Be Proactive

A motorcycle trailer is not something you want to buy at the last minute. Purchasing one before you actually need it will provide plenty of time to shop around so you can get the best deal. It will also give you peace of mind. Knowing you can transport your bike on a whim—whether for repairs or a riding trip—will relieve a considerable amount of stress.

Consider Functionality 

Generally speaking, it’s wise to buy the largest trailer that your vehicle has the capacity to tow. Even if you have only one bike, for example, purchasing a trailer that can safely transport two has its advantages. Not only will it allow you to tow a friend’s bike when traveling together, but it will also provide plenty of room for your gear.

In fact, storage is an important design element to consider when trailer shopping, especially if you’ll be towing the bike to longer treks. Other features that can make every trip easier include ramps, vents, lights, flush locks, and tie-down spots.
