The cost to purchaase was about equal to one rental, so I figured that I would take a chance.
I hitched up a parts bike to it the other day, and drove around a parking lot with it. I think that this just might work! 
One note, you need to remove the front fairings, so that they are not damaged. Also, in a tight turn, the bike leans waaay over, but does not tip over / fall off.

Watch the short video review, that demonstrates how to load it. |
I think to be safe I'd disconnect the chain while towing unless you are only traveling a few miles.
