Default 2006 Honda accord 2.4 towing

Hi there everyone
New here, but will start contributing as my journey goes on.
I have a 2006 honda accord 2.4l engine 4 door with only 94k miles.
I'm planning for a road trip in November round trip from New Mexico (US) to Tennessee/Georgia for work and to visit family.
My uncle in law is giving me his motorcycle (honda rebel 250) and I was wondering if my Accord will be able to handle towing it round trip from NM-->GA rounds trip.
I have an ATV trailer weighing between 400-600LB give or take + the honda rebel is around 330 LB.

Any thoughts? Will my accord be able to handle such journey? I do have a bigger vehicle but the MPG is around 14-17.

Any recommendations or thoughts will be highly appreciated.

Also one thing to mention is, if my uncle in law lived in a normal neighborhood I would have just ordered shipping.
But he literally lives in the middle of nowhere in the forest about 4 hours away from Atlanta. So a shipping service will cost an arm and a leg.
Last thing to mention, the motorcycle isn't running and needs work, so it will have to be picked up directly from his barn.

Thank you all!

Your Owner's Manual will spell out what you can tow; if you don't have a manual you can go to Honda's Owners page and download one. The manual for my (former) Accord says 850 pounds, but it is a different generation than your car.
