Can u fit a motorbike to the back of a T25?
Been thinkin bout this for a while . Wouldnt mind strappin a C90 or summit to the bak of my van. Any1 done this before? Or does any1 know any companies that do the kit?
Do u think it would be worth strappin it to the side of the van instead of the back . Then i can lower the back wheel of it wen i hit a hill to doulble my hill climbin power

Lonegunman ties a bike on the back of his camper, cant find the pic right now, but its impressive, as he also tows a trailer ful of diving stuff too, at the same time, doubtless he'll be along soon with a pic.......

Think this is the picture you mean ...
And here's a link to the supplier

Fits on the standard towbar and very well made for the price, the bike I carry is a 250cc so a stepthru or similar should be no problem.

To give an idea last year the van, 2 people and clothes etc for a long weekend in the van, 7 dive cylinders (steel) & 2 full sets of dive gear in the trailer and the bike went to Skye no problems, even up the hills at glencoe, breaking was noticibly longer but never felt like it wouldn't stop.

Bernd Jaeger does a motorbike rack too...

Albeit a bit pricey but looks pretty damn solid.

I travelled around Europe for 6 months last year with a Piaggio scooter on the back of my westy with no problems.
There is a guy in the uk called Dave Cooper
(see http://www.davecooper.co.uk/ ) who makes them pretty cheap. You need the bike first, as dave makes them exactly to fit your bike length and tyre width. FYI I have the bike for sale 800 quid if you want it. (cost me 1600)
The biggest problem is is the weight of the bike. VW says that you should not put more than 100kg on the back (including the rack). I think it is called 'tongue weight'. It is in your owners manual.
We had to get a 50cc Piagio, and have it de-restricted so it was about 80cc, as there were no 100 cc bikes that were less than 100kg.
We loved it, and had no problems whatsoever.
I would highly recommend it. Give Dave Cooper a call.

Our tow bar is rated at 50kg - so says the german sticker on the van. Is there a specific one that has a higher rating? We were planning on just towing the boke trailer with us but this could be a viable option.
