Enclosed Motorcycle Trailers Traveling the nation’s highways on motorcycles is a pastime many men and women enjoy.  Whether heading out for a long road trip or just a weekend getaway, having an enclosed motorcycle trailer is a good idea.  They allow riders to safely store their bikes while not traveling and protect them from the elements. Who Uses Them And What Are They For? Enclosed motorcycle trailers are used by professional riders as well as occasional riders.  They can be used to haul motorcycles, ATV’s, and other small forms of transportation.  They are highway rated, and most will fit inside a standard garage when not in use.  Several sizes are available, though the most commonly purchased enclosed motorcycle trailer is the 6’ x 10’ which holds one bike or one ATV.  Professional riders may use an enclosed motorcycle trailer to travel from one event to the other.  It’s not uncommon to see BMX and dirt bike teams haul their bikes in this type of trailer because they are inexpensive and are reliable.  Where To Purchase New Enclosed Motorcycle Trailers If you are looking for an enclosed motorcycle trailer for sale, the Internet is a great resource.  Websites offer a wider selection of both new and used enclosed motorcycle trailers than local camper and trailer retailers.  The deals are often better when shopping online.  New enclosed trailers can be purchased online from sites such as: www.smithtrailers.com – Smith Trailers and Equipment, Inc offers a wide selection of trailers including enclosed motorcycle trailers from the top brands.  Choose from United or Haulmark® enclosed trailers.  Smith Trailers and Equipment sells trailers with v nose or flat noses and has many locations throughout the United States.  Smith Trailers and Equipment offers enclosed motorcycle trailer rentals in both the standard 6’ x 12’ and the tandem axel trailer which measures 7’ x 16’. www.homesteadertrailer.com – Homesteader Trailers have long been popular with motorcycle and ATV riders.  Many different sizes and styles are available for motorcycle enthusiasts.  Since 1985, Homesteader has been providing motorcycle, snowmobile, car, and horse trailers for less than the competition.  Recently added to the collection is the Roll N’ Go trailer.  The Roll N’ Go uses a one base chassis, and tops can be removed for easy conversion from one type of trailer to another.  www.fthr.com – Featherlite® trailers offers all aluminum trailers that have a wide range of uses.  Among the most popular are enclosed motorcycle trailers.  In addition, Featherlite® sells open motorcycle trailers.  Enclosed models include the 1610, which includes a standard wood floor and can be designed to meet many sized bikes.  Featherlite® is trusted by professionals and is considered to be one of the leading manufacturers of motorcycle trailers enclosed. Where To Get Used Motorcycle Trailers Searching the classified ads of the local newspaper is popular for those in the market for used cars, but not necessarily the best place to look for used enclosed motorcycle trailers.  For this, the Internet is again the best resource to have.  Shoppers can choose to shop locally or expand their search to cover a specific region or the entire United States.  Some of the most common places to find enclosed motorcycle trailers for sale are: www.ebay.com  – While eBay® is a popular auction site for those wanting to get rid of some of their clutter, eBay® and the eBay® motors section usually has a wide selection of enclosed motorcycle trailers for sale.  Buyers are often required to pick up items purchased through eBay motors in person.  Payment can often be made via PayPal or a major credit card, though in some situations sellers may prefer cash, check, or money order.  Because the items are listed by individuals and not companies, inventory varies from day to day as does the condition of the used enclosed motorcycle trailers.  www.trailershopper.com – Trailer Shopper is a site similar to eBay® which allows people to buy and sell their used enclosed motorcycle trailers.  Individuals as well as trailer resellers may place an ad on the site.  Trailer Shopper offers some trailers in bulk quantities, while others may be one of a kind.  Shoppers have the option to choose among motorcycle trailers, cargo trailers, horse trailers, auto trailers, and many more.  Those wishing to sell a trailer can place a free ad on the site and may include photos to help sell the trailer. www.usedtrailers.com – Used Trailers.com offers a limited selection of both new and used enclosed motorcycle trailers.  Private individuals list their enclosed trailer on the site along with details like the condition, location, and year.  Photos are posted with most to give the buyer a better idea about the product.  Other types of trailers can also be purchased through the site.  Other Options For Saving Money For those who can’t afford to pay full price for their enclosed motorcycle, but can’t find a used one that meets their needs, there are options.  Many large retail stores offer financing on used motorcycle trailers.  If you already own an enclosed trailer and would like to purchase a new one or upgrade to a larger size, trading the old one in toward the purchase price of a new one is also another option that many don’t consider when purchasing an enclosed trailer.  A motorcycle trailer is a large investment that should not be considered lightly.  To ensure that you are getting the best product for your money, shop with reputable companies that offer customer satisfaction guarantees.  Look for trailers that are highly rated in terms of safety and durability.  Think about the size of your bikes and how far you will be hauling them before purchasing heavier trailers and never buy a trailer without at least seeing a photo of it.  Enclosed motorcycle trailers can be expensive, but they are an investment well worth it for those who travel with bikes in tow.  When traveling with an enclosed motorcycle, you can have your bike ready to hit the road at a moment’s notice and more importantly your bike will travel safely.
