The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65080 that fits your 2016 Toyota Tundra has a vertical load limit (the front mount hitch version of tongue weight) of 500 lbs; you can use this hitch and tow your trailer at the same time so long as your weights stay within their respective capacities.

To haul your bike I recommend checking out the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873. The carrier weighs 58 lbs and has a 500 lb capacity; your bike will fit so long as it has tires which are less than 5" wide and a wheelbase that is less than 79". You will also need tie-downs such as the Erickson # EM31353 which should work well.
