Inside diameter of trailer is 5'9 X 11'7.

Would a 23 touring fit in it, and the tail gate close?

Also, how much does a 23 touring weigh?

Thank you,
Neil

The weight is 1500# and the total length is 11 feet. So yes, the 12 foot trailer will work.

May have to put the top down though to get it in, you loose about a foot of height at the rear ramp.

Thank you forvthe replies.

To better balance the trailer would it be better to back the car in?

Depends on tongue weight. I don't see a difference either way.

I usually pull in frontwise reasoning that you want more of the weight ahead of the front axle, so I straddle the axle with the engine/drivetrain weight ahead.
