Towing a Motorcycle with an Elantra

    I've got a 2000 Elantra. Looks like it just has a little hook under the
    bumper. Has anybody ever towed something like a motorcycle with it?

    I've been looking at trailer-like things... some are remarkably small and
    light - some are essentially things that hold the front wheel up - which
    means you'd just be towing the weight of the bike.

    So, if anybody has any experience, or insight... please share.

    Thanks.

    Sorry, no. How about the reverse? Can you tow an Elantra with a
    motorcycle? I'd like to see that attempt on YouTube.

    Did you check for a trailer hitch for it? You really need the ball
    hitch as it limits the free movement of the trailer relative to the
    vehicle. thik about it - every time you accelerate the pin move back
    in the hitch point. Stop and it slams forward. Get the picture?

    Thanks - that looks great!! Any preferences for actual trailers for a
    bike??? I saw a great one that was tiny and light, but, it went for over
    $1,200...

    For those of you alt.autos.hyundai readers who actually smiled or even
    laughed at my humorous reply to The Chris, this answers my own
    question:

    Harbor Freight has some small trailers that can very easily be modified for
    a motorcycle
