plus 110kg's (ish) of KTM 250 enduro bike

I dont want to buy a 4x4, van, pickup and would like to enjoy the car when it's not on towing duties upto £9k

need to be really careful.

Although these racks are advertised as taking 600cc bikes, you will struggle to find a car that'll take a nose load anywhere near it. For example my Volvo V70 has a nose load limit of 75kg. You're in 4x4 territory for an enduro bike.

Trials bikes can just about get away with it.
