So I’ve been looking into this, there’s not really a 400 class, but there is a 500 class.
I’m lookin at CBR500R’s 😎

Me and @boogie_4wheel went for a quick ride up in Bountiful the other day and got rained on a lot lol.
But his new Africa twin is RAD! The bike is surprisingly good off-road for being over 500 lb

If you buy the kit and bring me your forks I'll install heavier springs and for emulators in that bike.

When are we going to test this out? I have until Oct 12 to do some riding before I will be sidelined from doing a lot of things I love for a few months. My suspension will be done the first of next week but I should be ready to go by the end of the week..

For real? How have I never realized this? I’m not currently running race fuel on any of our bikes, but we were for a while and I wish I knew

As of May I changed jobs and now am a distributor for Renegade Race Fuel.

Good to know! Honestly I’m not familiar with the Renegade brand, I’ll have to look at it closer

It's a smaller brand than the Sunoco and VP brands, but it's great fuel.

Any comments from anyone using a hitch carrier to haul a dirt bike/ enduro? I was looking at something like this so I don’t destroy approach angle:

As compared to
Something like this: (just an example, not necessarily the one is target):
What are peeps using? Any comments on one mfg vs another? One type vs another? Comments on hauling on the front of my van vs the back?
Looking at something like an XT250 per recommendation of @Gravy.

I use this one and like it a lot: https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/ultimate-mx-hauler-motorcycle-carrier-p
Easy to load/unload and gets the bike up high for clearance.

I have a traditional style double bike carrier. I have loved the simplicity of a hitch hauler, but it’s definitely a bummer for Offroad clearance.
You will definitely struggle not to scrape the hitch hauler on a dirt roads unless you go the jack style. Since your only packing one bike is definitely go that route. You can even get one of those hitch risers for even more clearance

What ever one you choose, make sure to get good tie downs. I personally can think of 5 people who have dragged their bikes down the road

I've been using a homemade hitch carrier for years (piece of channel with a front tire hoop). My front straps pull down parallel to the fork tubes. I also have a single strap to hold the rear tire.
In my eyes, a fork brace is a must have item. When you hit the brakes or accelerate hard, the bike wants to lean which compresses the suspension And causes slack in the other strap.
With the style in the link above that has the straps attached along the center line, I can see it applying pressure to the front and rear negating the need for a rear strap. But I wonder how secure it is forward/backward since the suspension can move and allow slack in the straps.

I kind of like the jack style and the way they bolt through the foot pegs. They do use a strap though as a final security measure to prevent rocking of the bike. My big concern with them is the height above the receiver that they lift the bike. For rear mount that is great but I want to mount on the front and fear I’d lose too much visibility with that style.
