ah right, do u reckon i'd be able to carry my mx bike on those motorbike racks? technically im not really towing just piggy backing my crosser around lol thats if i can get one to fit

You can't have a tow bar fitted due to the 182 not having type approval for it. I very very very much doubt you'll find a garage that will fit you one, and if they did, you'll most likley be invalidating your insurance for the first reason I gave.

fitting like this if there is no ball hitch for pulling a trailer its the same as taking ur mountain bike out! should be ok to do this u reckon?

Someone will remember it.

There is next to no weight in carrying an MX bike about, so if you can find a way of getting it fitted then I dont see why not?

Ignore me though as I'm more than likely wrong!

You can have a towbar on a Clio Sport.

You just can't tow with it.

You can put a bike rack on it.

But you can't carry an MX bike because the maximum weight you can put on it is 50 kgs.

I got this bullsh*t along the lines of "prove you told us you wanted to tow with it ... we'll testify that you told us you just wanted to carry a bike on it" when I threatened to sue the dealer that I bought a Clio Sport (with towbar fitted) from on the basis of an assurance from them that it was OK to tow with.

the maxium weight is 50-75kg if your using it like that
