Seems like it unless you have a monster 4x4. Not a good idea for a station wagon :P

Yes, not advised seems to be the tl;dr Was reading up on specs of 2011/12 Mazda BT50 and I think the towbar can take 350kg downforce, but the chassis on one of those is slightly stronger than a wagon.

Back on topic, yeah not worried about bike weight, only an issue when it lands on me :?

Was having a little chuckle to myself watching this thread get out of hand. I defintely wouldn't use one of those racks. Your dirt bike is worth too much to see it and the rack go boucing down the road off your car's towbar. Hiring a bike trailer isn't that expensive, you've just got to know the right people. And maybe if you bought a trailer i'm sure someone would be willing to store it securely for you
