Bike Trailers

Are these road legal in Australia.

If they are, me and "Sweet One" ( my dear wife) might bring one over, buy
a 1200 cc something
to tow it with, and tour your great country.

No bikes right now.

 

Looks like my link only works sometimes.
Here's another to the manufacturer's web page.
The D18SE is the model for sale here in NZ.

Are there any available in Australia? Might be easier and cheaper
to buy (or hire) one with a motorcycle in Australia.

Yes, trailers are legal. They need the usual things trailers need -
lights, safety chains, registration.

A 2nd hand one costs around $A1000 and up if you can get one, I think
they are A$1500+ new from Classic Trailers and Trek, you can get them
cheaper but it's a lot of looking. I don't know of anyone who hires
them.

Thanks Zebee,
Those new trailers for AUD 1500 + are good value.
The used english built one available here is NZ$3000.
Might look at the Classic & Trek if I can find a web site.

Great web sites thanks Zebee, but I might just rethink the whole thing after
looking at those prices. Might just as well go by plane & bus and stay in
hotels.
Probably cheaper. grinnn

I'll rent you an XJ900 and fridge-trailer for $250-per-week. (or you can
buy the pair for $2700)
Clem

 

Thanks for the offer Clem, but we have decided to go by rental car
and stay at pubs......much more comfortable and warm than in a tent
or camper trailer. What's a fridge trailer? Is that for the BIG eskie?
grinnn..
James

 

Yeah we use it for hauling meat interstate when it's not worth running a
whole truck!

Yeahhhhhh they are grrreat.
Liked the trailer pics.
I'm hooked!
Might just forgo the trip to Ozz and buy a bike & trailer
here instead. Colder but cheaper ... and I can ride the day I buy .
Look out Casbolts here I come. Discount please??

James.
