Another option is a front wheel cradle that lifts the front wheel off the
ground and you tow the motorcycle with the rear wheel on the ground.  A lot
less stress on the suspension and bumper mounts.  There are several
manufacturers of these and they run $250 up depending on how heavy duty they
are.  Most need a receiver hitch, but I saw one that attaches to a ball
fitting type bar.
