How to ship a Motorcycle

The vast majority of motorcycle shipping is done using enclosed trailers. This is done for several reasons. Motorcycle shippers can fit dozens and dozens of [motorcycles] in an enclosed trailer that may only hold eight autos. Motorcycles are also a little more sensitive to the elements, many people don't want their brand new Harley or Ducati getting snowed on. Finally, motorcycles are more of a security risk on open trailers. For this reason, ShipVehicles strongly suggests using open motorcycle shipping only for shorter distances (under 500 miles) or if you are not concerned about the exposure and security risks associated with the open trailer over longer distances.
