oldschoolsdime92 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Anyone ever shipped a motorcycle? How did you receive payment? How did things work out? I have a fellow out of nyc that wants my WR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Is the wr streetable? Why not ride it there and take a flight back? Or at least price that out against sending it via private firm or ups. If I had a truck I'd do it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I shipped one several years ago. Sold it through ebay. I think it ran about $400 (buyer paid) to get it to Texas. Wasn't a big hassle, really. Just spell everything out beforehand and do your homework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered to meet in PA but he has no way to haul the bike, and just received his endorsement yesterday.We will see how this plays out.Yes the bike is very streetable.

sprocket226 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Crate it up and ship it LTL. I see bikes, snowmobiles, engines, a lot on the ABF trucks here at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I looked into it last year. You send money to the shipper made out to the buyer. Buyer sends shipper title. Shipper can confirm condition when picking bike up for seller. Seller confirms pickup was made to shipper, shipper sends the money to seller. And shipper mails title to buyer. Something like. They charge a fee for this service. Depends how comfortable you are. Threat points are is the money any good the buyer sent and for the buyer is the bike not a POS.
