Post by: Bisbee on March 24, 2019, 05:59:45 PM: i’ve Used AA Motorcycle Shippers twice. South Florida to Phoenix and California to Phoenix. Excellent service/price. They ship to Beltmann Group- American Van Lines in Phoenix. Both times they warehoused the bikes for months with no extra charge. Highly recommended.

Post by: Ncdan on March 24, 2019, 06:43:54 PM: +1 for haul bikes, they did me a good service at a read price however I think there are some out there that are up for bids and negotiating prices. Haulbikes gives you one price, period.

Post by: harry h on March 24, 2019, 11:49:07 PM: Another vote for Haul Bikes. Very professional outfit.

Title: Bike Transport- NJ to Denver
Post by: Cam3512 on March 25, 2019, 01:49:52 PM: My V7 Special needs to get to Denver, CO. I know this topic come up every so often, but I'll ask again. Suggestions on reasonably priced shippers? Couple initial estimates from buyer are around $800. That seems way to high.

Still stay away from U-Ship?

Post by: Antietam Classic Cycle on March 25, 2019, 02:53:08 PM: $800 doesn't sound unreasonable - the last time I had a bike shipped long distance it was $700 a few years ago. Haulbikes does an excellent job in my experience. https://haulbikes.com/zonemap/
Title: Re: Bike Transport- NJ to Denver
Post by: CT Dharma on March 25, 2019, 02:56:24 PM: I have successfully used U-Ship several times [including moving 4 bikes to CO]. Just need to pay attention to feedback on companies that you receive bids from; as with everything else some are much better than others. $800 does seem high but it's all about timing and finding someone with room heading your way. I would think you should be able to find someone in the $500 range.

Good Luck.

Post by: Tennmoto on March 25, 2019, 03:25:09 PM: Could be a little higher cause Colorado is kinda dead for freight. Unless your just passing through
Title: Re: Bike Transport- NJ to Denver
Post by: egschade on March 25, 2019, 03:43:16 PM: Tony H. and I used Haul Bikes when we shipped my Griso from NJ to Vegas. He'll have to comment on the price but I believe it was better than $800. Check them out https://haulbikes.com/ (https://haulbikes.com/)

I advise you keep insurance on the bike until it's delivered and titled in the new owner's name. Make sure your comprehensive covers shipping damage and take a lot of pictures of it before shipping and secured in the truck. Any accessories or bits not attached to the bike will need to be shipped separately.

Post by: oldbike54 on March 25, 2019, 05:20:33 PM: No sweat Cam . The cheapest I could find for shipping the WG raffle bike from California to Newton KS was 800 bucks , got it delivered for a bit less because someone wa driving a toy hauler to Cedar Vale for a Fall event , so $800.00 sounds about right .

I paid $1,000 in Sept 2013 to have my V7 Racer shipped from San Francisco.

Post by: Sykestone8886 on March 25, 2019, 07:21:14 PM: I got a online quote. Without talking to anyone. $855.00 PA to Az. Sounds like a fair price. From haul bikes. I've seen a lot of good reviews.
