I have used a Kendon for the past 15 years.  It's nice that it foldes up and and stores out of the way.  It will handle 2 full size cruisers.

Wow that question could open up a big can of worms and lead to more questions....
How many bikes and of what size are you trying to transport?
How long will you be towing?
What tow vehicle?
Are you concerned with trailer storage?
Are you concerned about road damage or parking lot security for your bikes?

There could be more questions I'm sure too.

Good luck with your search!

What brand and size of trailer do you use for transporting your bike?

None......it has two wheels and motor for a reason..... ::) :huepfenlol2:   Sorry about that....couldn't hep mysef!

All kidding aside, if and when I am in the market, there are quite a few options but Aluma...
http://www.alumaklm.com/item/47-mc210-motorcycle-trailer.html

...and the Kendon...
http://www.kendonusa.com/

....are options I would be interested in if it were an open trailer I was seeking.  I like the Kendon with ease of use and storage but the Aluma gives you some protection from rocks/road debris for an open trailer.

Kendon does, however, offer an optional stone guard...

Good luck in your decision and keep us posted on which model/style you purchase....always enjoy looking pics of new acquisitions.

I have a bendron Titan 7*12 vnose.  It holds 2 baggers.  I wish I would have did a 7*14.  Get a tandem axle, motorcycle package that has jacks to load when not connected.  I have added more d rings, side vents not roof vents. 

I pull with a tundra and get 10 mpg when towing.  My next truck will be diesel.

I've used a Kendon dual to haul two baggers successfully.  Very easy for one person to load or unload provided you have a good ramp.  The stock Kendon ramp is a POS.






The down side to this trailer, if there is one, is that it's easy to forget it's behind you if you don't have a bike on it......especially when it's folded in half.  :nervous:

We use a 7 x 14 Freedom double axle as a toy hauler/camper.  Finished interior, cabinets in the nose, 30 amp electric, etc.  We use it when we are going a long distance in a short time, or staying in a given area for a few days.  Pic was taken in Hill City, SD in 2014.

Want an enclosed trailer with room for 2 bikes and little to spare. Is the extra weight and cost of a tandem worth it?
