Bennie, I bought mine at BJ's Wholesale Club for about $600. The brandname is Snowbear and it is exactly the ticket for hauling a single bike. It's GVWR is 2000lbs so it will take any bike out there. The bed is 8'x5' and has a tilt body. You just open the tailgate and pull a pin to tilt the the whole trailer down for loading and unloading. Here's a link to a place that sells it and has specs on it, but like I said.... I got mine at BJ's. http://www.blackrocktrailers.com/page/Model_8000SG_Galvanized_Utility_Trailer_a

Here's a picture with my bike on it.

Update....I went to the local BJ's and found out they do not carry any utility trailers any more...they said they used to but not now....

I got a 5'x10' tilt for about the same price. One thing I always look for is wheels and tires that are car size. Easy to find spares and they don't have to spin as fast as the "trailer" size wheels. 14" or 15" are best (IMHO).

Home Depot sells snow bears, had one for hauling building materials and dragging fire wood out of the back acreage... they are tough, good value.

I bought mine in kit form from Harbor Freight

Although, I added side panels, plywood floor, better fenders (one of the stock broke off), bracing and I also bought a motorcycle ramp for oneman loading-unloading.

After doing all the work to it I've done and yet to do, I probably would have been better off paying $600 for a trailer that wasn't a kit! I will be re-painting it and re-wiring sooner or later :o:

Trailier: $300
Sides: $100
Plywood/Paint: $20.00
Fenders: $50
Braces: $100
