The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11158 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ford Focus SE hatchback. You will also need the ball mount # 3593 and a hitch ball like # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter or # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter to match your trailer coupler. For your trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118674 confirmed to fit your hatchback. This wiring connects to your factory wiring located in your rear cargo area on both the driver's and passenger's side behind interior trim panels.

With such a low weight between your motorcycle and trailer, you should not have any issues as the tongue weight is far under any parameters for the hitch receiver and equipment. Tongue weight is normally 10 to 15 % of total loaded trailer weight.
