LOL!  

Yes, I prefer frugal.  Well said.

Frugal Jeremy, not cheap...it sound better, more sophisticated if you
will
:)

And, there's nothing wrong with being frugal...

I have it on a very trusted authority that a Honda with a "1000lb"
rating
can easily handle 1500lbs.  

My old 98 Prelude pulled the "leaden" Harbor Freight trailer with two
Hawks
from NH to GA and back, and had no issue with the steep
Appalachian roads.   
Granted it had a 200hp motor, but the hills were effortless.  

That is why I've been looking at superlight trailers.  I see no point in
buying a hearty tow-capable vehicle for the few days a year I would need
it.


And I'm cheap.  (This is where Kevin chimes in, usually)

Those trailers look decent.  Make sure to figure out your total towing 
weight with the bikes on the trailers.  I'd be surprised if a "little 
Honda car" would be very good at towing anything that was over 
1000-1500lbs. 

I wish there was a dealer here in the midwest (within 50 miles of 
Chicago), because I'd like to see pricing on the enclosed trailers.  I'd

love to have a 5x8 enclosed, and the v nose wouldn't be bad either.  I'm

just leary of the prices on those things.
