crb Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 What did it cost to ship it out of curiosity? Did you ship it via LTL carrier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 What did it cost to ship it out of curiosity? Did you ship it via LTL carrier?I used Forward Air and it went freight they pretty much fill the trailer and the price was still a bit high but cheaper than some places paid about $1100 round trip and that was back in April when rhe prices were lower. They had the bike out here in three days also so quick shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 That's better than I expected I was waiting to hear twice that round trip. Sounds like you got a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 $500-$600 is pretty standard through fwd air. I've heard them suggested a lot when people buy bikes long-distance via the WERA board, or even eBay.My buddy Dan bought his R6 on eBay, and I think he used fwd air.

crb Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 With the price of fuel and the distance I was surprised although I haven't had any dealings with forward air. I am in the LTL sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yea, I got a decent deal if I couldn't get the bike shipped for around a grand I was not gonna take it with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
