Ive had trailers for twenty years and now use a bike rack which is fantastic on me Astra coupe 19cdti, cant tell its on the back unlike a trailer which bounces the car on bumpy roads.

You can only do 50 MPH :wall: on the motorway towing i believe, but 90 MPH :agreed: with a rack

I carry a Bultaco 198 Sherpa on a Dave Cooper rack, the big issue is will your vehicle take the weight.

Bike and rack is a 100Kg, will the tow bar nose weight on your vehicle take this.

The rack is great as you can legally drive at the motorway speed limit.
