I have seen cruisers, Gold Wings and even VFR's pulling a small trailer before... Has anyone ever tried it with the 650F?
I have recently rekindled an old favorite pastime: Radio Control Airplanes.
I would love to combine my 2 favorite pastimes: motorcycling and RC planes by being able to pull my planes to the flying field in a trailer via the 650F.
I am thinking she has enough power for this. Especially since I saw an older, white VFR750 do it. But was wondering if any of you Aussies or Europeans have tried it. I know that caravanning is way more popular in the UK than in the US.
Let me know if you have tried this, seen it or just what you think...

Quite a few folks I knew from a bike club many years ago had trailers on their bikes. Their trips to the camp site were slower but it was way more comfy for them when they got their as they could take a few more home comforts with them.
The range of bikes with trailers was diverse, from a 650 Savage through to one guy with an imported Cavalcade, even a Dr Big trailie. There were however a coupple of GS850 shafties with towballs which is a bit closer to our 650 in terms of physical size and output. They all had no problem towing and as long as you are realistic about the weight you stuffed in it I can see no issue with doing so on a modern 650F.
Finding someone to fit a tow hitch and a suitable size of trailer will be the hard part.
