For a hitch, I'd recommend the etrailer brand # e98846. The hitch itself is manufactured in the USA, and has a 525 lb tongue weight/3500 lb towing capacity. Per the owner's manual, the vehicle's towing capacity is limited to 1100 lbs towing/110 lbs tongue weight.
For a trailer wiring harness, I prefer the Tekonsha # 118480 over the Curt # C56033 you'd looked at . You'll also need a # 2753 ball mount which includes the hitch pin, and either a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260 or a 2 inch, part # 63845.
There are hitch mounted carriers that can be used for small dirt bikes and motorcycles, but due to the modest tongue weight capacity of the vehicle itself, using a small trailer would be the best bet to transport a motorcycle.
