   Yes, any tow truck can tow a motorcycle -provided it has the proper equipment on board.
   
   Wreckers (with booms) will use a straps to lift the cycle and then secure it to the truck and wheel lift using nylon straps.
   
   Flatbeds can winch a cycle on using straps/handlebar attachments, then secure it by the forks using nylon straps attached to ratchets.
   
   On sport bikes, the removal of plastic shrouds is sometimes required - resulting in higher labor costs. If you remove this prior to arrival of the tow truck you may be able to save yourself money.
