cheapest hitch?

Gents,
I'm transporting my motorcycle and decided the most economical way is to install a hitch myself and then rent a motorcycle trailer. It seems that you need a special hitch for a w203 (go figure right?!) the cheapest i found is still over $200. I'll link it. Any lesser priced ones you know of?
Thx,

that is the only one that fits, I have the same hitch but paid a $124 for it in 2008, Bought from JC Whitney. The install is tedious as you have to remove the rear bumper and then the cover in order to install. It is even worse for those that live in Canada as our bumper is reinforced compared to the US version and have to modify the mounting. Count yourself lucky that there is even a trailer hitch made for our car

BTW you need a special hitch for any car outside a pickup

the powder coating leaves a lot to be desired as it was rusty after the first winter, good thing that Curt does not make cars
