Let's see an R1 do this. ;D
Straight up and running fast it's hard to know it's there. It slows down roll in. At a normal sporty sport touring pace it turns in normally, but up the pace and try to snap the bike over you can feel the trailer behind you resisting the bike.
Used at it's maximum weight capacity of 100 lbs and load the trailer with a forward weight bias and heeled over at 60 to 70 MPH it tends to introduce a weave to the bike. I believe this is because the weight is attached to the axle and not the frame.
Loaded with a lighter weight and a rearward weight bias and the rear rebound damping increased it doesn't weave.
It's a trailer, so just like any vehicle with a trailer you take extra care, slow down, leave three seconds, etc, etc.
It's super handy. On a two day super slap run to visit friends, these no soft luggage to strap off and on, it's water proof, has a 155 liter capacity and when detached from the bike leaves no unwieldy "superstructure" attached to the rear like other trailers or hard bags, and it comes off and goes on in about a minute.
Ride up to the motel, detached the trailer, roll it inside like a wheelbarrow, your stuff is all in side your room, dry, and in 5 minutes you are good to go on a back road run.
If you got the stones, ( I don't ) you can do wheelies with it attached.
