Default ITR towing part deux.....
take one 8 year old vehicle with 150k miles on it... one cheap harbor freight 4'x8' trailer... and tow a 10 year old vehicle with 15k on it.



Bike = 400lbs
Trailer = ~200lbs
ITR owners manual towing capacity = 0 lbs.

~300 mile trip
speed = 70-75ish.. (max = 95-100)
mpg = 26-27ish
gas/tolls + extra axle = teh suck.

And, the previous towing experience, a bit heavier, and a bit farther


D

edit: any eastern PA riders on here, hit me up.
