In Germany You always have problems to legalize a trailer and hitch for the RSV. Here is one solution: www.wm-trailer.deIt's a little bit strange looking but a good one wheel trailer. One wheel trailer have not the limit of 60 km/h and this one comes with the hitch for Your bike. The hitch will be made also for any other motorcycle which is able to tow a trailer. Costs are roundabout 3500,- € complete with painting and TÜV. Take Your bike to this dealer and get it ready for plug and play. No insurance and further inspection stickers from the TÜV required. BTW: it was tested from a customer with a BMW with speed up to 220 km/ and bike, trailer and rider are very well  |

Roland, you are right. with a one wheel trailer you co not have the speed limit of 60 kmh. But who cares ? ;D I have tested my trailer on the Autobahn and speeded up to 170 kmh - no problems at all. Averade speed during my rides is between 130 and 140 kmh - the Sardes group can proove that  For 3500,- € you can get a "Champion trailer as well. TÜV is no problem for that trailer, I can assist you if you want. Due to the "Swivel Hitch system" that is on my trailer, you will not loose the "riding" feeling and with all other efforts like a very good and stable chassis, very spaceous, air and progressive suspension, (Einzelradaufhängung - sorry don`t know the english name for that) you will have much more benefits if you compare the Champion trailer to others. And remember, it is my second Champion trailer. During the meeting I`ve seen another quality trailer behind a RSV. guess it is a "Gnesis" trailer, imported also from the US.  Looks simular to mine, just a little bit smaller. Roland, another important thing where you have to look to, is the trailer hitch ! Therefore you need the TÜV. I can ride another 6 month without TÜV, but after I have to get registered as well and I will never get my trailer hitch trough the inspection. So I will ride without approvement by the german road inspection department ! ;D ;D |

The trailer above must be a peak-trailer in my opinion.
Yes, the hitch is the problem and there is no hitch for the RSV available with the right papers for the TÜV. But the wm-trailer I can get with hitch and approved and legalized by the TÜV. I don't like to dismount my hitch every two years. I already have enough parts to dismount before. ;D ;D

Interesting trailer Roland...... This one has been around for several years, made in New Zeland, about the same price, maybe a little more. Do you think I could get this trailer registered for my bike??  )) Ha...probably not!! www.uni-go.com/ |

Hi, John!
Nice to read from You. Hope all is ok with You and Pat.
The uni-go trailer has no chance to get registered in Germany. But in US it should be available, they have a hitch for the RSV. There is also a distributor in Netherlands. For You it should be no problem to get one.
Greetings and Hi to Pat
Ruth and Roland
