Expert Reply:
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # SH85VR has a max tongue weight of 600 lbs when using the 2" receiver. This means the hitch will be able to handle your motorcycle and carrier without any issues. It looks like the 2016 BMW X5 xDrive35i tongue weight capacity is also enough to handle this weight but I recommend verifying this with the owner's manual. You will be limited by whichever capacity is lower.
If you would like to save some money, the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH44FR will also fit and has the same hidden design with a removable receiver. This hitch has a max tongue weight of 750 lbs so it will also be able to handle carrying your motorcycle to the track.
