    Used Federal Motor Transport ((800) 747-4100 x2217) this summer to ship bike from upstate NY to Tacoma - $700. All went well.

    Keyboard sound good at $625 but I need to have room for an 80 ft trailer at pickup and delivery.. Sounds like you have to meet at a school or church parking lot.....Just checked the website... I`ll call tomorrow

    Have you considered Autotrain? I shipped my Honda Accord from DC to Dallas for $600. I remember them saying that they ship motorcycles too.

    I used Keyboard back when I bought my FJR new from a dealer in MN, to ship to me in TX. Great service/decent price, although I won't quote the latter here, because it was over 12 years ago.

    Uship says they`re average cost for this should be around $300.
    But I`ve never shipped a vehicle so not sure what is reasonable.
    I could go and pick it up , but it would be a long day with a borrowed or rented trailer. Any suggestions?
    Soon to be a F6B rider... Thanks Thomas
    Contact USN Logistics LLC (on the internet) for a quote. Dealer I work with in Barrington IL uses him all the time to ship bikes around the country. He has 5 star rating and has always seemed reasonable priced.

    OK Guys, So I posted on Uship who handles Ebay purchases for quotes after I called or emailed all the suggested shippers recommended by members here.Got some crazy quotes for open transport! I was ready to drive or fly out and ride back as suggested by more than 1 member....The only one that came back with a reasonable rate for an enclosed trailer very close to my requested dates was AP Ventures based in Georgia. They responded with an offer not that much higher than my offer and alot lower than all of the other recommended or Googled shippers. April from AP Ventures picked up my F6B on time . kept me posted, arrived here on time , after great communications and bike was very securely strapped into her 30ft. enclosed trailer. If you need a shipper I would recommend this company without reservation. I thought it would be quick and easy to transport my bike from Ohio to CT. It wasn`t until I found this shipper.Hope this helps anyone looking to have something shipped . Now to start riding my new F6B !! Thanks April and AP Venture!
