May 8, 201016 yr Ive currently got a 1.6 Clio (110bhp) does any one else use a simalure car for towing or carrying there trials bike? just wondering how it copes with MPG and if they still manage to pull with such weight on the a***?
May 9, 201016 yr I have a saxo vtr which pulls my bike alright. Dont know about MPG but really your its only going to be the difference in one/two people in the back seat in terms of effecting mpg
May 10, 201016 yr I use a 1.2L 67(ish)bhp car and it pulls it no problem. Fuel economy doesn't seem to be affected enough to notice. Trials bikes weigh nothing really.
June 15, 201016 yr He he, I tow a bloody great big 6x4 trailer built with a car axel behind my little 1.4 Corsa, sometimes with two bikes & three people! I always measure my fuel consumption and I thought it would plummet, but no, it was about the same, even on really hilly & twisty roads. Must be because with all that weight the choice of speed is slow or stopped. I just set off earlier and let all the riders in their vans passed.
