    Shipping a motorcycle to USA

    A friend is wanting to ride in the States on his GSXR1000. What's involved in shipping it and what sort of cost is he looking at?

    Give "GT International Logistics" a call Phil Gibbs 09 255 5555 a real helpful guy. Was very supprised at the rates he has quoted me to import a bike from the UK.

    I've been through this already, several quotes to ship bike Auckland to Los Angeles, all in the region of $2400-$2600.
    Not worth doing for what I wanted. Cheaper for me to buy a bike there and set fire to it at the airport then watch L.A. burn as I fly overhead. Also, scores 12 out of 10 for entertainment.

    Will issues like the headlight "Dipping" the wrong way also be a problem ??

    No, actually I'm with this guy.


    Would make buying a hardly worthwhile.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
