Yeah should be right, Ive never seen anyone have a problem, a 125 isnt very heavy anyway. We have 3 big blokes sitting on the tailgate quite often and theres no sign of damage so a 125 should be sweet. The bike will be on there for a minimum time anyway, I wouldnt be stressing.

^^^^ I tie mine down the same as this, its a bit smaller too, a 250 two stroker.. A 125 will be fine this way, I rekon I could flip the trailer and the bike would still be there!!!


And I wouldnt get those $2 el cheapo tie downs either, after a bit of use/sun/water damage they get stretchy?!! and can snap easy as..
Bunning has some good ones, resonably priced too, usually in a 2 or 4 pack as well..

Alternatively you can go to the bike shops and pay 3 times as much for a similar item!!
