Very nice truck and very nice bike. My friend, you are arriving in style.

Good choice in bike!

is that the moto tote sport?

LOOKS SWEET! NICE RIG AND BIKE! ..........MUST HAVE NOW! ........CAN'T RESIST!

Q1: Did you have to use a hitch extension?
Is so, what length?

Q2: Is it stable from DR SD to PS SD? Or does it rattle back and forth?

Q3: How close does the fairing get when loading?

Q4: What model Varsahaul is that?

Q5: Do you notice the bike's weight back there while driving? Air suspension or no air suspension on your rig?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks,
Tim.

Damn that is sweet!

A1. Yes, I have a 7" extension
A2. It does move back and forth but it's not too bad. I'm going to work on something to make it more stable.
A3. The bike clears the tire about 2-3 inches.
A4. VH-SPORT-RO
A5. Yes, you can feel the extra weight as expected with anything you haul...and yes I do have the air suspension...works great.

Thanks for answering the Q's!

I'm ordering on Monday with the HD stabilzer bracket.

Very SLICK

How heavy a bike will that carry??? It looks perfect.

it carries bikes up to 600lbs

it might be wise to get a second HD stabilizer bracket. that's what i'm going to do. you will need it if you are adding the extension to clear the rear tire carrier.

Good call!!!

Good call!!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, I think that's why mine was not as stable as it should have been...because of the extension and having only that one HD stabilizer bracket. However, it was sturdy enough for me to get the bike home. I will be sure to have that extra HD stabilizer next time I transport the bike.

timgco, by the way, you will need a little muscle when mounting this bike carrier...this thing is no light-weight.

I figured as much! It looks HD! I'll also need help loading that 600RR up there the first time too.

it's not that hard to load the bike up on the carrier yourself but you may need help the first time. i do it on my own but i'm careful. just take a towel or something soft and put between the bike and the tire...then just lean the bike up against the tire as you hook up the straps and tighten it down. it will take practice but you will get used to it. if you're not comfortable with doing it that way then just make sure that you have someone to balance the bike as you strap it down.

no it's the VersaHaul. it's the same company that makes the MotoTote. just go to www.discountramps.com

Nice looking bike, Ray. I've had two CBR929s (and a 600RR, and an RC51, and a...the list goes one - LOL), and shopping for the '06 1000RR right now. Haven't decided on the color yet, but leaning heavily towards the one you chose.

great pix, where do you get the extension? and the stabilizer bracket?Because of you I'm getting mine soon.

Yeah, that 2tone silver just jumped right out at me when i first saw it at the dealership. the black would have been my second choice. i paid $10,900 OTD. let me know what you get yours for. i tried to give them $10,000 cash but they didn't go for it.

the stabilizer bracket comes with the VersaHaul but you will need a second one if you have the spare tire carrier and have to use an extension. here's both of the sites that you will find everything you need...

Once my other half takes the rider's course, I fully plan on an RC51. I went from a TL1000 ( 2 years without a bike)to this 600RR. It's fast for a stock 600... and waaaaayyy lighter than the TL. But I do miss that low-end torque!!! Is that seat on the 1000 as bad as my 600? I need to order a Corbin seat for sure.

Thanks for the info, two more question, sorry I just want to get it right, are you referring to the titan trailer hitch box extension? and where would you put the second bracket?
Thanks

i used the 7" extension/HE06...

you will need an HD stabilizer bracket where the carrier meets the extension and another for where the extension meets the hitch receiver. i will post pics when i get my second HD stabilizer if you need to see what i'm talking about.

Once again thanks for the info. By the way, sick bike. I have a Raven Yamaha R1 and a R6 track bike.So i've been waiting to see how to mount one of those things.Thanks

no problem...glad that i could help out.

I'm at $11,000 OTD with my dealer right now, and still trying to beat a few more bucks out of him. I know I could do better elsewhere, but I've bought most of my new bikes from this dealership, and they have a brand new location that is only 10 minutes from my house.

Couple more rookie questions sorry, How many times have you carried your bike and do you still have to use that tow button so the transmission could compensate for that extra weight distribution?

i've carried my bike a few times already and i never even thought to use the tow button. my rig seemed fine when towing the bike...but that could be due to my hypertech programmer, airaid intake, granatelli MAF Sensor and flowmaster exhaust. i will try using the tow button the next time around to see what difference it makes.

I know if i got mine for $10,900 OTD here in Cali then Texas should be cheaper. I feel the same way about buying from a dealer that's close to home.

Is that seat on the 1000 as bad as my 600? I need to order a Corbin seat for sure. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> the seat on the 1000RR doesn't seem that bad to me. I've ridin my buddy's 600RR and that seat is pretty firm but it's not that bad...it just takes some getting used to. the seat on my 954RR was about the same as the 600RR. i guess a corbin seat wouldn't be a bad investment

That looks sweet! Makes me want a street bike (which makes the girlfriend very angry) !

Nice looking setup...looks very trick.

looks awesome... the only thing that can make it better is if it was a ducati... hmmmm ducati

OUCH ! I built a carrier out of 4" channel iron for my sons dirt bike and it cost me $24....painted it with the shiny black RustOleum....and voila !

There is some movement back and forth....but nothing to be concerned about.

Next time I load it up I'll take pics !

YMMV, but IMO, the Corbin seats suck for hanging off the bike if you ever do track days or race.
