I am out of town and just purchased a KTM 350. I currently own a Civic and need a trailer until I get back and purchase a truck. I found a cheap 4x6 trailer with a gate. Will this fit my bike in a pinch?

Thx

is it an option to take wheels and forks off to try and fit inside car? If not then you could do the same thing to fit the bike on the trailer

One of my friends used to race most weekends with a Civic and no trailer. Where there's a will there's a way. I wish I had pictures of it.

Yeah it will fit on a angle. My truck bed is 6ft and I get my bike in with the tail gate up this way

Angle it and it should fit. that's close to what a Tacoma bed length is

If you’re going to put a receiver on the car for a trailer...just do this:

i use one of these for my truck but i would rather pull a small trailer with a civic instead of putting all that weight on the hitch. he probably has the smaller 1" receiver too, these trays are larger 2"

Honestly I'd just ditch the gate, I used to tow behind my mazda 3 and it did far better on gas and speed without the gate. Can it be removed and laid on the trailer bed? On mine, you just had to knock the pins out.
