Default Bike Carrier Question

I'm just wondering if anyone has anything to say about using a hitch mounted bike carrier like the one here:
http://www.sportslift.com/vhlift.html

Any comments? Thanks in advance.

i've seen scooters on those but never a sport bike. i'm curious to know how stable it is too. if you get one let us know how you like it.

I've only seen it used once with a sportbike and the person's truck could have used a lift kit or sturdier leaf springs. The back sagged so bad, the bike might as well should have been dragged behind the truck. Other than that, it looked like a sweet setup.

i've used it before...it looks sketchy and all, but it was actually very sturdy. we had an F4 and F4i in the bed and the motote carrying an RR in the rear. no problems whatsoever. the rear did get lower but we were still within the towing capacity. load capacity and max tongue weight of the truck.

air bags, etc. would make it even better though.
