Best way to get bike from sth island to nth

[Funkyfly]

Thanks for the replies guys.

Its an 03 GSXR with 7500kms so i dont envision any mechanical problems.

I had a 02 GSXR before so actually riding the bike wont be a problem.

The main reason im looking at transporting it is due to the weather (read : "its flippin cold")

Anyway thanks for the info and leads.

Much appreciated.

Sorry FFly, don't know your previous exp. Have riden a 1991 GSXR250 in heavy rain and done the Whangarei to Haast and return on it (the heavy rain was mainly between Greymouth and Frans J. Glasier), so you should be fine with any bigger GSXR seeing you have riden them before. In that case I'd say ride it

If you decide to ride it, please don't be one of those people you hear about who tun up at the II without any tie downs. Especially if it is rough you will need it well secured, assuming you like the current paint scheme.


There is a page on how to do this right in "The Bikers Bible".

Heh, my mate gave me the word on tie downs on the ferry, however we didnt have room on our holiday and the 4 of us decided to risk it but minimize the risk by being first on the ferry by checking in early, this worked a treat and we all had no problem using the supplied rope "tie downs". They are awfully bulky items and as i travelas light as possible they are last on my list.

If there are to many bikes and i miss out i will "park" the bike between two big harleys with nice big soft saddle bags, that should do the trick!
