Default Trailer ?

Hey everyone,

I just need some advice regarding what would be a good trailer to haul two bikes. I will be moving to Montana this coming year and will be making annual trips to upper Michigan. With the trip being 2400+ miles round trip I'm trying to get an idea of what trailer to get and that will not be horrible on gas. I will be hauling a Road King and a CBR1000rr. Quality is very important seeings how I'll be hauling my babes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I haul my Street Glide 1400 miles each way to Florida every year on a Kendon trailer and never had an issue. I bought the trailer because it can be pulled by a small vehicle, it stores real well. After having owned the trailer 3 years and making 3 return trips all I can say is never a problem.
Check them out, almost always a used one around.

With the amount of miles you plan on traveling,I would would look for an enclosed trailer.The bikes would be safe and out of any bad weather.

Now,single or tandom axle?

First off thanks for the responses and advice. I have been looking at the Kendon, Big Tex MC35 and Aluma MC210. I really like how the Big Tex is setup and how you can us it for other applications besides just hauling your motorcycles. I would really like to have an enclosed but I've heard the gas mileage on them are pretty bad. Also a couple years back I hauled a Uhaul enclosed from Arkansas to Michigan and it costed me $600 in gas. I know Uhaul's are very heavy and are horrible on gas milage, but I'm sure they are similar to other enclosed trailers. But they are very good when it comes to protection. I'm just trying to stay around or under $3,000.
