There's an old saying that you get what you pay for, and in this case it might be fairly valid. It looks like one of those "lifetime" (yours) items. But also, a professional definition of "quality" is "fitness for use". The point being - for what are you going to use it, and how much are you going to use it? Will something cheaper suffice, or is this really appropriate for you and your need? MHO only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree, but I can get the utility trailer below for <$900 which will do much more than a motorcycle specific trailer. I don't have that kind of money to throw away, but the Kendall is a very nice trailer, and I wish I had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtc Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The trick is to buy one used. I have a dual Kendon in my garage, like new, paid 1200 bucks. Well worth it. It is standing up against the wall out of the way, and I can roll it out and hook it up any time I need it. You can't do that with a 'utility' trailer And since you can store it inside, it will last virtually forever. Great trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fj09chris Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Don't worry Paulo,it went to a good home I took it for a little spin today... Regarding the Kendon trailer; I looked at a lot of options and as I was shopping a found a brand new one that had been gathering dust at a Harley dealer for several years. Seems their buyers were exclusively interested in trailering 2 or more of their wonderful bikes to their destinations. I, on the other hand, owning a Honda Civic, and actually wanting to stay away from hauling others and their gear to track days, was specifically looking for a single bike trailer. I could have saved a few hundred dollars its true, but it tows super sweet and baring theft I don't think I'll ever need another trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fj09chris Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I don't think I "threw my money away" and good luck standing that trailer on end and storing it out of the way in your garage There's an old saying that you get what you pay for, and in this case it might be fairly valid.

Premium Member martyl Posted November 4, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted November 4, 2016 Landscaping trailers can be modified for motorcycle hauling. The ones with the steel mesh ramps are not aerodynamic and will cause fuel economy loss. I found it's best to remove the mesh ramp for long distance hauling and use another ramp. Personally I eventually got a great deal on a used Aluma trailer and I love it. A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
