Well, right off the top, I see a couple of things that you might want to consider before you take the plung:
The hitch isn't a heim joint so you'll have the traditional slop on the start and stop and added stress to the bike from that. If you haven't towed both behind a bike, you should before you go with the traditional 1 7/8" ball.
The axel and suspension aren't even in the same league as a Bushtec so that's not even a fair comparison. Again, you want to try both before you settle on this kind of suspension.
While this trailer might be great to pull behind a small car or even a 4 cyl. Tacoma or a Ford Ranger, it's far from being ideal to pull behind a bike. There's a reason that everybody (Honda, Harley, Kawasaki, etc.) all prefer Bushtec over any other make when pulling with a motorcycle and if you ever pulled a Bushtec it wouldn't even be a question for you. Don't settle....reach for what will really make you happy.
By the way, I've posted on this forum in a several places over the past four years or so........the biggest mistake I have ever made in motorcycling was selling my Bushtec. Just a few weeks ago I bought a 97 Turbo+2 in good condition with hitch, harness and all for $1700 (or was that $1800?). So the deals are out there and it took me awhile but you can find them. Just stay dilligent about doing the Bushtec searches and let others on here know that you're looking......you'll find one.
