Motorcycle Shipping from USA to Canada

I looked at bringing a bike up from FL one time and these are the guys I looked at.

Ended up not buying it thankfully otherwise I never would have bought the R3

Thanks for the websites! I will check them out for sure. I did get a quote from one company "TFX" so far that have given me a price, but they wanted to charge $120 brokerage fees' on top of the shipping costs... I asked him why the hell would I need to pay brokerage fees on a Canadian vehicle thats being transported back into Canada? I'm not importing it, just shipping it back across the border. I don't recall anyone in Canada paying brokerage fee's when they send their summer vehicle down to Florida for the winter and then sending it back up. Something is screwy.

Just don't let Jim near it. They way those things vibrate (in a good way) he'd never get off. OK, bad choice of words. He'd never get off the bike.

OH, me thinks he WOULD ABSOLUTELY "get off"!!!

Ive whacked it twice just thinking about it.......

You guys aren't incorrect, the bike has a certain "Vibration" that if you were, to say, lean up against the fuel tank while decelerating might give you the same sensation as getting a hummer....

Stopped being made in 2012 I believe. One of the most amazing cruiser/sport hybrids I've ever had the chance of riding. It has a very unique personality and sound. I filmed this 5 years ago from a block away when I lived in an apartment.. listen to this sound!!

Sounds awesome but it was the "hummer" part that got my attention.

It got my attention too why do you think I put 16,000km's on that bike when he let me "Borrow" it for a little bit lol

I would seriously reconsider using Federal Transport/fun machines. I used them to ship my Rocket from Mass to Florida and they had slightly dented the front fender, which I did not see until the next morning. Had a hell of a time with their claims. The bike was also mixed with other freight in the final delivery van by Non motorcycle personal, which is where I think it may have been damaged.

The one I rode had the full stage 2 Akropovic exhaust system, hyper charger (I think it was called) and power commander fitted. It sounded fantastic but didn't knock my socks off with performance - had been dyno'd at about 80hp (WTF?????) - but the way that thing vibrated could have lead to many a love affair. I commented at the time that if Yamaha had marketed them at women it would still be in production. Some bikes turn you on with their speed or good looks; these just turn you on.
