Helpful Expert Reply:
The Curt trailer hitch # C11034 has a gross trailer weight capacity of 2500 pounds and tongue weight capacity of 250 pounds. The weight of the trailer plus the bike would be 900 pounds so you are well under the capacity of the hitch. However, you have to also consider the towing capacities of the vehicle.
A Corvette is not typically a vehicle used for towing so capacity information or anything related to towing may not even be in the owners manual but you will want to check there first anyway. If you do not find any information on towing in the manual then please contact a Chevy dealership to speak with a technician about towing with the Corvette.
If you find that you can tow the bike and trailer then you will also need a ball mount, # 3592, pin and clip, # PC2, a properly sized ball such as # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch diameter or # 19258 for 2 inch diameter, and trailer wiring. For trailer wiring use # 18252. I have linked a video showing the process of installing the wiring. Though it is not the same vehicle you will follow the same process to install it.
