Ok, you can tow in overdrive, if the trans start to hunt (shifting between 3rd and 4th alot) put it down into 3rd. I have towed with my GF's alero, I am guessing around 1100 lbs, her utility trailer full of her stuff with out a problem even in D4. Now when it comes to towing her 16 foot sailboat, which I am guessing is on the order of 1800 to 2000 lbs, I have to use D3 in her car and keep it around 65 to prevent hunting between 2nd and 3rd.
So to answer your question, the weight of you bike and trailer will not be a problem if you are in a towing environment similar to the UP and lower of Michigan. I pulled her trailer loaded to the gills, so about 1100 lbs and the car full of her stuff, from houghton to detroit, 550, miles without any problems in D4. In the UP on the 2 lanes I was doing 65 and in the lower 75 on the interstate. So yes you can do it.
