welll

www.fowardair.com
www.shipmotorcycle.com

and a dozen others I can't remember.

It's going to cost you tho $700-900 bucks. I got a quote from Topeka KS to Baltimore Marland and it was $675. + p/u at the Baltimore terminal and the money for the skid and assorted packaging stuff.

I'm sureif you do a search on www.ebaymotors.com they will have a billizion different carriers. DON't go with UPS/USPS as the same Quote above was $1200^^^^  :x  :x  It's cheaper to go with a company that can do bulk/special needs type of stuff.

Join the Navy!  They'll ship it for you...The only downside is that you don't get to pick where it does--they choose the destination for you.

HaHa!

That reminds of a guy I met in Norfolk that shipped a 93 GS to Italy. I was joking that it would have been cheaper for the taxpayers to buy him a Ducati when he got there. :lol:

May be not ... They prolly send 1000's of crates loaded in them 8 ft by 56 foot shipping containers ... prolly whole ship loads a month ... the GS be a drop in the ocean (no pun intended) ... Of course you have a private company do it, they'd charge you like 2 grand ...
