looks good, until the driver has to make a quick stop and has an extra 2 tons behind him

It's all fun and games, until your towed vehicle runs you over!

That trailer has some pretty hefty brakes on it. Very cool.

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.

I like the outfit the rider is wearing. What is that - a bullet proof vest?

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.

nucking futs, but strangely interesting

It would be a lot cooler if the driver just hit a switch and it did pop out transformers style.

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.

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.
