I shipped a quad from Indiana to Az and it cost me $400. it just had to be crated up. The packaging was the worst part. , , www.freightcenter.com (http://www.freightcenter.com) (http://www.freightcenter.com ) Just search the web I am sure you can get it for around $300 for a bike good luck

Have bought and sold a few scooters and other large items on ebay....I sounds MUCH harder then it really is! You will have to get the CR crated( I crated all of my own) have him go to the local motorcycle shop and get a new bike crate...they just through them away. If you get a new CR crate they are all metal and just bolt together/ but very flimsy. Or get a large pallet and frame it in using 1"x1" wood from HOMEDEPOT....piece o cake. I tried a few shipping co's and ROADWAY EXPRESS was the best, Foward air being second. The last one I ddi left SanDiego and went to Rodchester NY....was around $150.00 GOOD LUCK, let me know if you need any help......tobtek
