Bike rack - for a real bike..!!

Evening all.

I want a rack that carries a `real` bike - a motocross bike.
Something that carried a little over 100KG would be needed, and preferably something that can be easily removed.

Anyone know if such a rack exists that will attach to the rear of the van - probably to a tow bar I would assume?

Worst case I will need a tow bar and trailer, but that ain't my thing really.

Any pointers or recommendations appreciated :ok

They look exactly the type of things I am looking for, but a little concerned with max weight being 100kg.
I think mine is a bit heavier....

Were you able to remove it easy enough when not carrying the bike, Lodgey?

I'll take pics of mine tomorrow when I get the chance. Towing a trailer reduces the maximum legal speed on dual carriageways and motorways.

I use mine for transporting my Enduro.
