    Cost of shipping a bike overseas

    One day I would like to do a big trip on my bike in another country. Does anyone know what the costs are to ship a bike from New Zealand to say;
    London
    Cape Town
    Los Angeles
    India

    I have a KTM 990 ADV.

    Thanks

    Mike

    Dude, check Mike Ferris at http://www.ferriswheels.com.au/
    Cheaper to rent in places like India
    3mths of Royal Enfield Bullet via Lelli Singh in New Delhi would be a tenth of the cost.
    Fuck, I'm in the mood to blow this joint for winter right now. NZ in winter sucks like carver on a Saturday Night

    Edit. Mike Ferris is a good cunt. Drinks Nepalese rice wine with the best of them.

    Get in touch with Go Logistics. They were the only company that responded with a comprehensible quote when we were planning the Oz trip, & their service has been good so far - bikes due back next week.

    AFAIK Get Routed only do Oz - Christchurch.

    Cheers

    Phone green freight in auckland, they were excellent and gave a full rundown of costs over the phone.Couldn't fault them.
    Just google it Mike.

    In 2007 it was a bit over $1800 to fly mine AKL to London plus costs in UK of about $500. Shipped it back by sea at GBP 500.

    James Cargo Services at UK end, not sure who their agent is in NZ now.

    Shipping to and from LA is around NZ$900 each way via www.Kiwishipping.co.nz. They are run by 2 Kiwi guys in LA but I am sure they do other routes too.
