with the winds we have here I wouldn't pull it.
I can spend a lot of nights in camp grounds and motels on $3k.
I have a small trailer I pull once in a while. curb weight is about 120.
even that is a little heavy for me.

I am on my second trailer now, and just finished building one for my son to pull, we use them for camping trips, grocery shopping or anything else we need so we dont have to take a car. The secret is to keep it low and light, then you dont know its there. The bike pulls it no problem. Dont know how that one would pull, seems pretty big to me.

RE: Anybody see this Motorcycle pulled trailer ?
for each their own I guess...most motorcycle trailers (worth hauling anything) I have seen are in the 350 lb range...I guess this discussion comes down to two questions:
1. Do you think it is too big (not heavy) - concern cross winds?
2. Will you use it frequently enough to justify the purchase?
It's pretty versatile, IMO - not just for camping or hauling stuff. I think it would be great at a rally. Also, it could be swapped and easily hauled with any car/truck, thus making it even more versatile.

I pull a Bunkhouse, that weighs about 335 empty, and around 360 with the gear that we carry. It pulls great, and you only have a little "push" when braking. The new ones come with brakes as an option.
http://www.bf-specialties.com/index.html is the link to their web site. The new ones are really nice (ours is a '92), but we prefer the design of ours as we can park the bike inside and zip it shut.
There is no way I would pull one of those teardrops behind a bike....too damn high in a cross wind. Here's some pictures of ours:
