A lot of engineering time, energy and cost wasted, I would guess........also be willing to bet that it'd be mondo $$$ cheaper and much simpler to buy a small pick-up truck and a standard car dolly to do the same job. Sorry, I don't get it.
Looks like Honda sorted out the GL1800's rear subframe failures from a few years ago.
Seriously though, it's probably quicker to lane-split your way to the disabled car with the tow bike than threading a conventional wrecker/roll-back truck through congested traffic. Might work here in the DC area if it could tow a large SUV.
Or maybe Honda engineers just built an answer to a question nobody asked. If it catches on, wait until Boss Hoss builds one.
I bet you could haul a car across country alot cheaper. Would be cool for someone from Wi (like me) to go to say Texas to pick up my next hot rod project.
Please they cheat i towed my buddy on his buell with my buell when he snaped the belt. let me see if i got a pic. there we go my belt on my pants to his pant belt to his broken drive belt pulled him about 4 miles like this it was funny. people were looking at us crazy!!!
That would be a fun towing job for a rider. Would be even better if it was rigged to tow cycles. There, a new variation for a Harley trike. Although they may make it the Repo-Glide.
