That sounds about right, 600 to a 1000. Where are you shipping your bike too.

Well now, a LOT depends on how far yer wantin' ta ship it. Ya might also see iffen thar might be some folks willin' ta "relay" the bike to ya. Ah've seen any number of bikes an' trailers moved from one side of the country ta the other, jest by folks willin' ta spend a li'l time in someone else's saddle. Hell - ah'd even do it, but mah wife is the jealous type (sorry, Karen!!)!!!!

I bought a bike on ebay and had it shipped from New Hampshire to Florida...cost about $500.00. There are a bunch of companies that specialize in shipping motorcycles.
