I mean, it is 59.4" wide, so there is only 0.3" to spare on each side whilst loading onto trailer. :shock:

It would be! Looks like the minimum trailer size would be 6 X 10.

Instead of towing on a trailer, I've just sent a message to Can-Am asking if the Ryker be towed safely (i.e. w/o transmission damage) on a dolly with the rear wheel on the ground. Will be interesting what they say.

Will be a helluva lot less weight towing & much better resulting MPG.

Back it into the trailer and you will not have a problem. If too close, get off and pull the front wheels over. You will be happy with the fit. If nervous or you trailer alot, simply cut the rail off behind the trailer fender and reweld on using a 1 or 1.5" square tube. I have a 2x4 screwed into the floor on each side to stop the front wheels from going too far into the trailer. After loading you can put 2x4's on the gate side, too. Much better than having too big of a trailer.
