SherpaX Trailer: My FIRST RIDE Towing it… Did I Break My Bike?

Back in May I took my 2020 Husqvarna FE501s on its first ride towing a SherpaX motorcycle trailer — about 70 miles of mixed highway and gravel outside Darrington, Washington. My goal? See if towing a trailer makes dual sport and ADV camping more comfortable without loading down the bike.

This video covers:
First Impressions of the SherpaX trailer on a lightweight dual sport
How the FE501s handles towing on gravel roads & pavement
What it’s like to ride highway speeds with a trailer
Whether a motorcycle trailer is worth it for adventure riding or motocamping

If you’ve ever wondered if a dual sport trailer setup is practical, this is the real-world test you’ve been looking for. Perfect for riders thinking about motocamping, ADV travel, or just carrying more gear without wrecking their suspension.
