Plus those trailers make great places to hang out or sleep in. Get the roof vent.

I have a 7'x16' V nose I purchased new from Georgia for $ 3,8000. Dual axles, electric brakes, 15" tires, with spare. Check out ebay under cargo trailers.
Both the wall and floor joists are on 16" centers. Much better than the 24" centers.
The dual axles are a must along with large tires, would not go below 14" tires.
The smaller tires are traveling at twice the rotation of your tow vehicle. Not worth having a $ 20K motorcycle, damaged due to inexpensive trailer and tires.
Just my 2 cents.

I have a tandem axle TimberWolf low profile that has been an ideal trailer. Bought it in 2003 and have probably trailed over 12,000 miles with it already. If you could swing a tandem, do it!

I bought a jet ski trailer 6years ago for 150 bucks took the braces off of it and put a 2x12 in the center coverd the whole thing with a 3/4 piece of hard wood ply-wood. put 6 tie downs through the frame and hauled a 800 pound bike from texas to georgia no problems. I have moved countless items on trailer easy to load only 8 inches from the ground. I put my wing on it once to get through the driveway and it fine with the weight.

I have a 6' X 10'Royal Cargo. Supposedly the guys who started this company had worked for Haulmark. I liked it over the Haulmark as it was cheaper and came with treated flooring. I just thought that would be better not only from the top side but the bottom as well. Haven't hauled my SG in it as I ride it everywhere. Did haul my Heritage Springer in it once to Sturgis behind mt wife's Trailblazer, 1000 miles one way.I got the ramp door and the extra height since I'm 6'2". The only problem was the wind drag from the extra height and obviously the fuel consumption. As far as blowing a tire goes I figured it couldn't be any worse than when I blew a front tire on my truck at 70 mph when my Heritage Springer was in the back with only 500 miles on it!!
