sweet, thanks. I personally don't think he should do it but he really wants to be able to tow his jetski.

Pretty much any car out there has a hitch made aftermarket for it.
I've installed hitches on all types of cars. Toyota Yaris, Saturn Ion and S series, Taurus', Cavalier's, Civic's, Escort's, and a hundai Tiburon (sp?)

They are out there for about everything.
Would I personally pull anything with these vehicles? Hell no, but I'm the king of overkill

You pretty much ruled that out when you bought a 1125r. If you had a nitro Busa maybe, or even just a ZX-14, but a 1125r won't get you much respect in the overkill realm.

You are looking at it the wrong way...
I have a bike that is made for street riding in the twisties. Light, flickable, and plenty of power, but yet I live in the land of no corners...


And yes, F250/F350 is in my future... if Ford make's a decent diesel on it's own in 2010, and I don't own a trailer.

That's not overkill, that's the wrong tool for the job.

We have an Outback which has a 2500 (or so) tow rating. It works perfectly since we just trailer things a couple times a year.

The Impreza also has a tow rating, not as much, but I doubt you want a station wagon.

Definitely not but I wonder if their impreza sedan has a tow rating at all.

Well then Im the prince! LOL maybe its just me talking myself into "NEEDING" bigger toys! like the F350 needed?....No but knowing I have it if I need it is reassuring to me. sorry to hijack the thread. If you can find a hitch for it Id say just about any vehicle out there ought to be able to pull a little trailer with just one bike on it.
