Anyone run this set up? I've seen it done before, I'm thinking about it. I have a Jetta GT, would just need to get a hitch and rack on it. Thoughts or experiences?

I had that setup on a minivan. Not sure about a Jetta. It worked fine, easy to load bike on and off. No issues for me. It looks and feels like alot of weight on the back end but never had a problem on some pretty rough pit roads. I had a yz125 at the time so I don't know how a 450 porker would be on a Jetta.

It'll be a 250 smoker if I do it. I've seen it on cars before, but I'm not sure if a Jetta will suffice either. Would a mini trailer be a better option for such a small car?

On the Jetta that would we a lot of weight hangin' off the back. You might wanna go with a trailer if you're goin' more than a few miles.

Good luck.
