Bike transport/freight

[MiniMadness]

Any recommended companies for bike transport? Considering bike in the Gympie area (z50), need freight to Newcastle. Approx price?

Cheers

Heres a thread about the same question as yours: Interstate Bike Freight

Goodluck with it.

I got a quote from some of the bike transport companies. They are all in the $350 range. Seems a bit over the top considering its such a small bike. The big eBay sellers can freight larger pit bikes the same distance for around the $80 mark. I don't believe it should cost me anything more than $200

the box a new bike takes up in a frieght truck takes up less room than a fully assembled bike

Yep! Freight SUCKS BAD for Motos...even Minis

I would try asking around what the guys such as DHZ use to freight their Bikes around as I know they get it fairly cheap? Getting it pulled down and into a Moto Crate would help with the cost OR you could try Well Known Trucking/Transporting companies...not Moto based.

There was a Thread about this a while back and one guy said he got a Midsize Freighted from Queensland to WA for only like $250?

Thanks for that zack. I will definitely consider them. Was the bike boxed/crated when they picked it up?

No boxing all i did was wrap the bikes glad wrap, make sure it had no fuel in it. and put a bit of cardboard over the handle bars. they just like it to have some form of "packing" to it. As well as this they have one of the most helpful and useful customer service departments i've dealt with.
