    I would be interested to hear from you as I'm hoping to acquire a cheap trailer for my bike!!

    this maybe makes sense in US but not in Ireland. The only trailer i seen was attached to HONDA GoldWing.

    and another one on honda90 with guy brining pigeons to the market

    i was going to get a trailer for my rsv, there are some lovely ones out there. It seems pretty easy to put your own together with a car roof box and a few more widely available bits & pieces. You'd want a pretty light trailer for a 125cc though. Any kind of weight in it at all would kill what little power the bike has.

    Personally, I'd think twice and maybe thrice before using any kind of trailer with a 125cc bike. I can't imagine trying to get up any hills with that rig.

    would you be allowed here? On my licence the only space for a trailer is on a car, van etc. No option for a bike.

    Why not email the Dept of Transport and ask ?

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    The Construction and Use Regulations (SI 5/2003) only permit bikes over 125cc to tow trailers.

    The Dublin Airport cap is damaging the economy of Ireland as a whole, and must be scrapped forthwith.

    I thought this was about trailers to carry a bike!, LOL
    I wouldn't like to try towing anything with a 125 machine a recipe for rapid and fatal clutch wear.
    same goes for any small capacity bike under 500cc

    "I thought this was about trailers to carry a bike!, "

    Yeah when you try google or ebay on this, most of them are trailers for carrying a bike!
    Thanks for your advice though, I realise now that it's not worth sending the bike to an early grave!!
