G, no, that's too much weight for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75492. The max tongue weight on this hitch is rated for 600 lbs, so with the bike alone you'd be overloading the hitch, not accounting for the carrier weight.
With the motorcycle weighing so much, I think you'd be better off trailering it and transporting it that way.
