Transporting a motorcycle to Detroit is a wise decision if you plan on moving there or going there for a while. The city is right on the coast of Lake St. Clair and follows along the River. There are several scenic routes, especially along the river and coastline.
Instead of riding the motorcycle to Michigan on your own, consider having it shipped there. This will save the bike from the extra mileage and even possible damage. When you hire a professional company with a good reputation, then the safety of the motorcycle will be the company's number one priority.
What are My Options?
The moving can be done in one of several ways. These methods are all subject to your budget, what the company offers, and what you prefer. Not all companies will offer the same methods, but as you will see below, there are many popular methods to select from with a little comparison shopping.
Enclosed Hauling
Crated Method
Open Air
Terminal to Terminal
Door to Door
All of the above are wonderful methods, as long as the right company is hired for the job. With a little research, the right company can be found. Pay attention to a company's ratings and reviews online. Also, when you call to speak with a representative, make sure they are friendly and professional. Ask them if they offer insurance for the hauling too because this will help you to rest at ease knowing that your bike has that little extra bit of protection while it is en route to Detroit.
