So your 636 is a non-street legal track or stunt bike right? I'm guessing stunt bike, since there's no track in SF or SJ (or near by really).
Consider making it street legal and just riding it? You'll beat the honda any day for MPG. Just thinking here.
I get it, I've got a truck. Not everyone wants one. I get that too. But towing with a vehicle once a week, that is not designed for such. Is going to incur a much higher cost. Just in maint work alone. Instead of oil changes for engine and trans at normal intervals, you should consider cutting 30% off that at a minimum. Same with brakes, shocks, ball joints, tie rods, etc, etc.
Either way you go. You're gonna pay extra.
Stopping that trailer with the civic shouldn't cause any more wear than having a few friends in the car when it comes to weight. Actually it should be less wear on suspension parts consisting the tongue weight won't be even 100 lbs.
Old change intervals on a modern Honda should be 10k motor oil and 20k on the oil filter. I think the cost shouldn't be an issue. I'd definitely keep an eye and nose on the tranny fluid though if it's an auto.
Also since he'll be doing 55 vs 65+, the wear should also be closer to help balance out over all.
