Expert Reply:

For your 2015 Mazda 5 the hitch part # 24874 is a confirmed fit as well as the trailer wiring part # 118520. The ball mount part # 3592 is correct for the hitch and for a hitch ball the # 19258 would also work well for a 2 inch hitch ball.

I looked up the towing capacity of your vehicle and it is rated for up to 2,000 lb trailer weight so as long as your trailer and motorcycle end up less than that you'd be fine. California would not have any state specific restrictions on your vehicle towing either.
