If you just bought a Honda motorcycle in another state, or you are moving a long distance and need to move your motorcycle but don’t want to drive it, this is the article for you! There are many different options to move the motorcycle, and it will really depend on a few factors, but ultimately it will come down to money.
From preparation to the actual transport, there are many things that will assist you on this endeavor.
- Items to wrap the bike – this could be travel blankets, blankets in your home, towels, or bubble wrap
- Tape – used to hold the wrapping
- Straps
- Bike crate – optional but helpful
- Trailer – if you are doing it yourself
There are many different variables one must consider when moving a Honda motorcycle.
- The first step before you even pack it into the moving truck is to prepare the bike for travel. The first step is to drain all the fluids from the bike itself. Traveling with gas in the tank is a safety hazard, so you should have the gas tank as close to empty as possible, along with draining the coolant and engine oil.
- To avoid any accidental sparks, it is important to wrap all cables and disconnect the battery.
- Remove all nonessential pieces from the bike so they are not damaged during the move.
- Slightly deflate the tire pressure from the bike – only slightly as too much deflation could cause damage to the bike.
- The final step is to make sure the bike is wrapped up securely in blankets, moving blankets, towels, or bubble wrap. Of course, this step is only necessary if you are placing the bike in an enclosed unit for travel. This is essential if you want to avoid any major scratches or bumps during the move.
- An extra recommended step that only applies if you are using a company is to take photos of the bike once it is prepared to travel along with all the notes of what you have done to prepare the bike for travel.
When moving a Honda motorcycle, there are two main ways to do so. One way would be in an enclosed unit, the other would be on an open trailer. Both of these options offer positives and negatives, it’s really up to you to determine which options works best.
-
Enclosed unit
- The most obvious positive of this option is that it is most protected in an enclosed unit. The mover does not have to worry about inclement weather or flying debris that could come about during the travel such as rocks.
- The issue here with an enclosed unit is the cost. When looking to move the bike through an enclosed unit, most moving companies will have the most expensive option available as the enclosed unit.
-
Open trailer
- An open trailer will be the least expensive option for one to choose from. The mover simply has to strap the bike down, typically on a smaller trailer and they are good to go.
- The open trailer is not without negatives, if you are traveling a long distance the bike could be subjected to bad weather, and getting bumps or scratches from flying objects.
-
Special consideration: Crate or no Crate
- Whether shipping in an enclosed unit or an open trailer, you could also build or purchase a crate to further protect your motorcycle.
-
Do It yourself
This is obviously the cheapest option, but if you have access to a trailer and are not traveling a long distance, this is perfectly feasible.
-
Freight Company
A freight company allows you to avoid doing the job yourself, and will more than likely be the fastest option to get the job accomplished. These companies should have your bike delivered in three to seven days, but it will require you to have the bike enclosed in a crate which can get expensive.
-
Independent Haulers
This option is found through the Internet where you put in your information – the type of bike and where you are traveling. Companies will then put in bids to move the bike themselves. This is typically cheaper than a freight company, and could even be cheaper than doing it yourself if you don’t have any of the equipment. The downside is that the movers may not have a ton of experience in moving motorcycles.
-
Professional Motorcycle Movers
This option is the safest for your bike as they not only have all the necessary equipment, but they also have experience in shipping many different types of motorcycles.
There are many factors when looking for an estimate on how much it could be to ship a bike. First of all, the cost will heavily depend on the distance the bike must be moved, the further the distance, the more expensive it is. If it is a long distance and you do not want to worry about weather and getting any damage to the bike, I would recommend using an enclosed unit, just remember it will be more expensive. Other factors into raising the cost would be the size (weight) of the bike and how expensive the bike is.
Motorcycle enthusiasts are very particular and careful when it comes to their bikes. Transporting these priceless possessions could be a very stressful and hard thing to accomplish. If you are doing it on your own, remember to follow the important steps laid out in this article. However, if this doesn’t interest you, you could always hire a company to move it for you, just remember that it could get very expensive!
