Motorcycle Shipping Options

When transporting a motorcycle, there are several options you should consider to determine which method is best for you. Here are some of the options available:

Enclosed transport
Open air
Door to door
Terminal to terminal
Crated transport

Enclosed transport is the safest and most secure way to move your bike. Using enclosed transport ensures that your motorcycle will be protected from the elements and any potential storage or transport hazards.

Open air transport is also an option if you’re comfortable having your bike slightly exposed to weather and driving conditions. This method typically involves the bike being secured to a flatbed truck or a tow trailer.

Door to door transport is exactly what it sounds like. We pick up your motorcycle at the specified location and deliver directly to its destination.

Terminal to terminal transport is more cost-effective, but it can mean having to pick up your bike at a depot which is not always convenient, depending on your proximity to the terminal.

Crated transport involves securing your bike to a pallet and loading it onto a truck in a wooden crate. This is a popular option but it’s important to keep in mind that crated transport does typically require some extra preparation. All fluids need to be drained, the battery needs to be disconnected and, in some cases, removal of mirrors and handlebars may be required.

Preparing Your Motorcycle for Shipping

Whatever option you choose for motorcycle shipping, it is important to make sure that your bike is ready to be shipped when it’s time. This short list covers the basics:

Clean the bike of dirt and deposits
Remove any accessories or loose items
Disable the alarm system if it has one
Check fluids, tire pressure and battery
Gas reading should not be above 1/4 tank before transport
Inspect and document any existing damage for your records (photos recommended)
