Trailer Hitch for Motorcycle

Trailer Hitch for Motorcycle
I know what many of you are thinking... why would anyone want to put a trailer hitch on their G35?
Well, I need a way to transport my motorcycle and I don't want to give up my 2008 G35S sedan!
I have found a couple hitches that actually use the tow hook as a mount, but they are only class 1 hitches, and I don't think they could handle the weight of my 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 Sportbike (363lbs Dry Weight).
I'd also like to get a hitch to carry my bicycle (no weight problem there).
Does anyone have any experience putting a trailer hitch on their G?
I'm most interested in getting the hitch/platform setups, so it isn't a true trailer with wheels touching the ground. This means that I don't have to drive 55mph on California freeways with a trailer! I've attached a picture for reference (not my car/bike).

I persinally wouldnt trust the rear platform hauler, especially not on our cars. The only option I have found is the 1 1/4inch and I wouldnt trust that to support 400+ lbs including the hauler wieght. I wouldnt trust it on a 2inch receiver either, its one single point that all wieght is balanced on. Not to mention you will completely block your lights and rear view mirror.
I've got the Curt receiver on my coupe and it was super easy to install and its fairly hidden in my Chargespeed rear. And the car pulls a small trailer awesome and still averages 24ish on the highway when pulling the bike. And theres plenty of power, you can easily do over 55 (unless its cali law, which would be lame sauce).
