can anyone assist with bike transport info from the South Island to Hamilton/Auckland?

Cheers----Gavin

Cheapest way is to fly down and get it

Saw a post couple of weeks back with an estimate of ~ $400. But that is something of a guess.

Found a better one ... Learn about the search function.
I searched ["transport bike" "south island"]
Here

i had my fxr transported from nelson to auckland a few weeks back. i heard biketranz were a good company but i could never get hold of them. i ended up going with mana transport who took something like 8 days and cost me $230

Hi ya

Bay City Motorcycles (Tauranga) now also run a bike transport company.

Give Andy a ring and he will point you in the right direction :spudflip:

if not, I will go down myself...then maybe I can offer to take down or also bring back something for someone else

maybe it seems a lot, but I don’t think so...I am flying down to Dunedin in a couple of weeks, and the ticket is $279 each way. If you take the price of the flight, then the ferry and fuel…there isn’t a lot in it, the Transport Co has a lot of costs + it’s their living
