    Bike engine freight from Florida, US?

    Has anyone got any options for bringing in a bike engine from Wesley Chapel, Florida over the next month? USPS Priority international is a little, um, pricey.

    many thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Really? 12 and a half KGs? Pretty light bike motor.

    Certainly hope you're not calling Sues son "ugly" either. People that live in glass houses should certainly never throw stones.

    I certainly wouldn't call her baby ugly, her boyfriend on the other hand

    It's a Hyo 650 vtwin - complete. I'm guessing - 70KG ??

    Probably have it to your door for a grand (kiwi), excluding taxes and duties.

    Edit: That's airfreight. More likely 800 actually

    Ok. Firstly I have found a better engine in Westhaven, Utah. Is that still doable?

    Ok does the seller pay freight to send it to your agent/forwarder/etc? Ie, do we bid on the ebay auction and pay his US freight, or does your agent pick it up? How does that work?

    We're keen to get started.

    I had a 86' gsxr750 engine crated and shipped by boat over to me thru kiwi shipping

    http://www.kiwishipping.co.nz/kiwi-shipping/

    was fine, don't recall the total cost but it wasn't much between $150 - $300 NZ. Course by air is better if you're in a hurry.
