I hope it has brakes on the dolly, cuz that would be fun stopping a 3000-4000lbs car with a 1000lbs bike. Yikes, look dangerous as hell to me and I'm in the towing business.

I wonder what the MOCO's position on warranty would be.

That one would be up to the HOCO...( I believe that there was  a Honda)

Was just thinkin' that if they deny claims because of a couple hundred pound trailers....they probably wouldn't be pleased with towing a car!

As I was watching this video I kept thinking "Why"??? Why would anyone feel a need or want to have one of these.  :nixweiss: I guess it's one of those "Just because you can things!"  :idea2:

Well I have seen it all now, wonder how long that bike will last pulling the load.
Wonder if its been engineered to suit load ratings and breaking!! ???

They have been using these in Japan for years. I first saw this in 2008. They use them because the response time is much quicker. They can split lanes to get to the stalled car and get traffic moving again.
Supposedly they can haul a 5500 lb vehicle and even another motorcycle.  I heard that there is a company here in California that has started selling them in the US and Canada.
Neat idea but I wouldnt want to tow 5500lbs with a motorcycle !
