Bikes Towing Bikes! Honda Gold Wing & CRF250X vs. Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager & KX250F | ON TWO WHEELS

Yes, you can throw your dirtbike in the back of a truck, or behind a four-wheeled vehicle on a trailer. There’s a reason that’s the go-to technique for motorcyclists. But here at On Two Wheels, we’re always looking for an excuse to use a motorcycle instead of a car. So, when we wanted to ride the red rock and powdery sand of Utah, we knew we could find a way to tow dirt bikes behind touring rigs.

Yes, you can throw your dirtbike in the back of a truck, or on a trailer behind a four-wheeled vehicle. There's a reason that's the go-to technique for motorcyclists. But here at On Two Wheels we're restricted to using, well, two wheels. It's the name of the show after all. So, when we wanted to ride to and then on the red rocks and powdery sand of Utah, we knew we were going to have to wade into the murky waters of towing bikes with bikes.
Turns out, trailer culture is plenty strong. Frankly, we always thought those people towing campers or their dogs or even cargo were off their rockers. Then we looked into the market and found lots of options for towing, including special-made parts for both the Honda Gold Wing and the Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager, and no shortage of encouragement from the internet (you can always count on the internet for giving a thumbs up to a bad idea).
So the boys set out to get to Utah, with their CRF250X and KX250F dirtbikes, using only a Gold Wing and a Vulcan Voyager 1700 towing shaky, home-built trailers (using generously donated hitches from bushtec.com and marvellas.com).
Did they careen out of control, or have a great time? Watch the video to find out.

[@atadbitnefarious1387]

welp. this just gave me a reason to like massive touring bikes. i used to think they were stupid. Well played moto mag.

[@1compaqedr8]

Yeah they really opened a lot of people's eyes with this one!

[@Sig721Tau]

Why are "cruisers" aka standard bikes stupid?

[@reinterpret_cast]

I still think cruisers are stupid

[@ritwikreddy5670]

@@Sig721Tau when did cruisers become standard? Don't know about America but naked bikes are considered standard in many places of Europe and Asia.

[@wallymurray620]

Love the video but as someone else mentioned I sure wouldn't mind a extended version of these adventures. Keep them coming guys.

[@beamdoctor5637]

AGREE!

Yep. 30min+ for sure.

Highway pegs get your legs away from the 1700.

Maybe not the best setup for lane splitting.

bromance at its finest..need more videos of you guys going on an adventure with bikes 😊😊

[@danofzanzibar3924]

"I'm going to tear your head off if we don't get on the bikes in the next 30 seconds". That's just so damn relatable, I couldn't stop laughing.

[@JoeShep71]

so..... ive been contemplating towing my aprilia rsv4rf race bike with my BMW R1200RT..... you have inspired me..... I cant wait to see the faces when I show up to a track day LOL

[@DJMotoVlogs]

I was smiling throughout the whole episode. This is great guys I want to see more motorcycles towing motorcycles.

[@Rocketninja200]

Should have used a Harley to haul the extra 250 pounds since that's what they're designed for. Don't believe me? Just look at the women sitting on the back of them.

[@agentgfh]

Anddd root beer just came out of my nose. Thanks

[@bmxrr1990able]

that sir was an EPIC response hahaha hah made my day

HAHAHAAHAAAAA

Lmfao

[@victorborg7285]

I ride a Yamaha Venture and it'll haul anything I sling in a trailer. Been overloaded a few times. 140k and still an awesome bike with storage room to move your house. Great video

[@Floydrose335]

You guys should make these episodes longer and turn it into the motorcycle version of roadkill/top gear. It's really good!!

[@PramitRana]

By far the best motorcyclist channel ever on youtube. Man, they have put so much effort in their videos...... their passion for adventure and motorcycles is awesome.

[@JohnnyWooh]

Don't think we could ever watching this as much as you did living it. Awesome to watch though. This has become one of my favorite youtube channels since you guys took over. So much good stuff. Keep it coming!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great video - really enjoyed that one (and not a gun in sight!) :0) Very jealous of that Utah terrain for off-road fun, nothing like that within thousands of miles from me! Cheers for posting up the vid - all the best - TMF

I went out and bought a street glide to take my ktm 500 excf around the country

[@sarathmenon4828]

You know, if you made a one hour version of this video, not a single person would complain. In fact, I'd pay to watch one if you make it.

[@05ryanchick]

This channel is like top gear of the motorbike world I hope it carrys on and gets on tv! Come to the UK for an episode!

[@michaelsica-lieber6472]

That was pretty badass. Really cool episode! You guys always put out great motorcycle content. Thanks for that and keep it up.

[@robertheinkel6225]

I saw a pair of cruisers pulling dirt bikes on tandem axle trailers. I was in Montana at the time. A couple of months later I read about the pair in the AMA magazine. They headed north to Alaska until the roads ended, then continued on with the dirt bikes.

[@ryancollier3388]

I don't understand how your channel isn't bigger!!!!!!!! You guys are awesome!!!

[@Lucianrider]

Man that was an epic trip and video!! Very professionally done, filmed and edited!! Great job!

[@rogerrosendahl1139]

Got the voyager, guess i need to find a KX and visit Harbor freight!

loved this episode would be even better if you could make them longer .

[@kylercaldwell6435]

Before I moved to Texas, I lived in Utah. One of my most favorite places to ride and boat was Sand Hollow. I used to camp there all the time. I definitely miss that place

[@trailingarm63]

Good idea to use the big bikes as pullers and a great weekend captured on filn Enjoyed it.

[@ThisLifeRiding]

I am so glad you two have not lost your sense of humor.Great video guys.

[@LMJee]

I don't bring extra gas,*I bring an extra bike.*

[@chrismaggio7879]

Great vid and trip! I would however like to let you know that reweaving your boots outside your tent, in Sandhollow, will almost certainly mean shaking out the little scorpions out in the morning! Yep! If you turn on a black light at night you will see them glowing and scurrying about. Fun vid. Thx guys.

[@belfasthuwcynhuw6545]

Awesome film guys, loved it. Looks like you had a brilliant time.

[@Changtent]

Great idea! Hey, I like those helmets you're wearing. What are they, and where to get them? I mean the black helmets used with the touring bikes.

[@czierwo]

Can't believe I missed this episode and did not come across it for 6y! 😮 Awesome watch!

I'll be riding from Mexico to California in a few weeks... It will be awesome to meet you guys!

[@DonovanGoodwin]

I live in Utah. The trails are awesome and so are the dunes. We have got a lot of great scenery. Forests, Dunes, Swamps, and streets. It is great.

[@Dukerdr]

Awesome video! Looks like you guys had fun. First dude I ever saw with a bike behind a bike was an old guy racing Vintage with WERA. He pulled in at Nelson Ledges in 1989 with a '70 CB450 behind a GL1100.

[@robertp457]

As always great video! I just can't get enough of On Two Wheels!

[@peegh1977]

great video!! Another possibility is towing gear. alot of people use the harbor freight trailer and a luggage topper for the vehicles. you can tow all your camping gear or anything else you may want to keep dry.

[@stevewaters6679]

You guys are awesome love the videos both serious and playful. Keep up the great work!

[@baltsosser]

I really like the idea of pulling the dirt bikes with the street bikes. I haven't owned anything with 4 wheels for more than a decade now. This is a good way to solution out getting to a good destination with another bike in tow.

[@crjmoto]

I'm always hauling things so the street bikes go on the back shelf - this solves my problem! Very cool

[@4theriders]

hahaha! GOLD! this one was awesome! thanks for sharing your adventures with us! great job, spencer, on the shuttle command audio blips. that made me laugh my ass off.

why in the world someone would dislike ? Thank you for this great video !

I need to find me a job like this

[@andrewcullen8635]

I have to say that many years ago (39) I bought a brand new Honda XL 185 SA, It was my only form of transport and I loved it. I never did any distance work but I had fun taking it to work 4 days on 2 days off for 8 years the some Green Laneing on days off it was fun. Being a road/trials bike I had to watch it in the rain but those knobbly tyres were OK in the snow and mud, And by the way later on I added a home made trials type side car to it, Eventually scrapped after some body stole it and I decided to go back on to cars

[@skageru4]

We need more ride videos like this guys. Awesome job!

[@gripitandripittv]

Solid episode guys this was killer. Now do this and take some bikes to the track! Do it

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

Súper awesome video. I live in Utah I go to Moab Utah a list 10 times a year and south west Utah too. I love it. Utah is gorgeous from the most beautiful desert to the amazing mountains.

[@MaxRay16]

That's why I love my supermoto. Light and flickable and can go off road when ever

[@MaxRay16]

For the cost of the Goldwing you could get a decent truck haha. Not as much fun though

[@automaticreply]

yeah but by the time you get across country you're exhausted unlike the comfort of a gw.

this is such a sick video hope you guys had fun on this crazy adventure

[@bolivardigriz8847]

No cage required! This is one of your best 'sodes. Awesome scenery, both Las Vegas (I enjoyed living there), and the Utah high desert. Awesome bikes, both the dirt bikes and the touring bikes. Would you consider doing this bike-towing-bike-trailer trip on a large sport tourer, like an ST1300 or Ducati MultiStrada?

[@Siper2]

Hey Ari, is that a Tourmaster Coaster 3 jacket? Looks like it, backwards zipper and all. I own the same one, though need a smaller size as I've lost weight. Fun video, guys!

[@isaiahvillarreal4512]

30 years ago my truck broke down. So I took the body off of the side car frame. Mounted a plank of wood and loaded up the dirt bike. Ive seen pics from the 1940s of riders removing the wheels off the race bikes and bolting the forks to a mount on the back of their street bike. Some would also remove the drive chain. Just don’t go breaking an arm or leg cuz mounting and riding back won’t be fun.

[@adamcahill4212]

Great content fellas. That's unique and interesting and sure looks like a blast!

[@DarkRiderMotovlogs]

Awesome video as always. Really making uo my mind about getting a dirt bike as a second bike now!

[@ramishrambarran3998]

Good going guys. Loved every moment of it !

[@surg23]

Can't believe this is actually legal! Do you need to register the trailer and does it have to have it's own plate or can you use the bikes plate ?

[@jayw900]

It could be different in your state but in NY a trailer needs a plate.

[@crazypjk]

surg23 in NY you don't need a plate unless the trailer is longer than 6 feet.

[@brycemooreguitar]

In Utah a single axle trailer does not need registration

[@stenic2]
