Where are you shipping to and from? I know a guy who does the eastern seaboard and Midwest. Very reliable and reasonable too.

Haul Bikes, used them 3 or 4 times, top notch...

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.

+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.

Another vote for Haul Bikes. Very professional outfit.

Ditto for Federal Motorcycle Transport.

I use them regularly. Never any problem.

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?

$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/

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.

Could be a little higher cause Colorado is kinda dead for freight. Unless your just passing through

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/

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.

+3 for Haul Bikes. Did right by me shipping the Griso from NJ to Vegas.

Sorry to duplicate the shipping thread. DustyRocker, feel free to merge.

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.

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.
