Anyone towing their atv?

I bought a new quad a few weeks ago and I'd like tow it behind my R53, anyone out there have experience with this or something similar? Anything I have to do to make this happen? Do I need to drive differently while towing?

Curious if you or anyone knows the towing capacity? That's what I would look for. Not a MINI, but I have a friend with a BRZ and he made a trailer that was small enough to fit his crotch rocket on that he tows to and from the track with. I have another friend with a cross trek that even tows a medium sized sail boat!

I towed our classic mini (when we had it) up all the passes in Death Valley on the way to AMVIV. Had no problems, I would guess its heaver than an atv.
