Motocross Rack on Back??

Anyone ride motocross/ trials and transport their bikes using one of these??

May be getting a bike (road legal), but won't want to be do mega miles on it so was thinking of moving it about using one of these on the back of the Clio. (if I start doing events etc)

I used to have one on my Golf, was fantastic, the rack fits to your tow bar, in turn connected to the chassis - piece of piss to use.

How much does a crosser weigh? My Sherco was about 80Kg so it was just like having a passenger in the back.

Can't be more than that tbh. Didn't bump about and scratch her did it? ?

I used one to carry my Beta trials bike when I had it.
Good bit of kit apart from getting covered in mud lifting it back onto the rack after a trial.
Only thing with using it to carry a crosser or enduro bike is the longer wheelbase means it will stick out a bit further than the side of the car.

I used to have a RM 250 and used to take it out with one of these. Good bit of kit for the money.

Just fix it down with a ratchet strap each side of the frame, sorted.

Will you not require a towbar to fit it?
Something that the gay wheelbarrow exhaust is like to prevent you fitting on a 182?

Buggeration.

Upgrade to a 172 and then a towbar will fit (although isnt legal to tow with as not type approved)

I fitted one on my mondeo and put a kx125 on it. It lasted one journey and I binned it off for a trailer.
they are fine for smaller bikes of the much lighter trials as shown but a crosser will exceed the nose weight limit of the towbar and the frame.
