Sometimes I wish I had a tow bar on my SZ to tow my motorcycle to Spain.
Off course it should be removable. Does any one knows its possible?

 I think you will be the first one to do it.
I've seen a classic pre-'73 Porsche 911 with a trailer (folding caravan) behind it a couple of months ago. Also pretty cool.
So it should be possible, but not very easy. |

When I read the title I wanted to scream nooooo!
But actually thinking about it, towing a motorbike could look pretty cool.
I guess a 75 towbar would fit? |

Hm I guess not. The sz floor is shorter than the 75 floor in my opinion.
Besides that the end muffler is taking away a lot of space under the floor.
A 75 towhook may be usefull as a base to start from, but a 1:1 fit? I don't think so... 
Another thing Roy, how about insurance/responsabilities when your 'home brew'  towhook decides to leave you somewhere between let's say Paris and Madrid taking the trailer and motorbike with it, causing a massive traffic jam...(not to speak of any personal injuries or even worse..  )
To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea to fiddle around with such gear...
Maybe you can buy a cheap bike in Spain or hire one?
