you could let us know where your going from and to.. ppl travel often and can put things in empty trailers for one way transport alot cheaper than using a specific company.. just a suggestion as its the CHEAP alternative!

interesting concept....still would cost about 80-90bucks.

... thats pretty reasonable considering.. ask what it would be worth in petrol to drive down n back.. then trailer hire.. then maybe get a quote from a transport place and that 80-90$ will look like a BARGAIN!

Companies that specialise in motorbike transport are expensive. Your best bet would be to crate the bike as that would be cheaper and easier to get someone to transport it. Do some ringing around of some transport companies or even removalists that do interstate runs and see if you can get on a back load which is usually very cheap.

^^^^ i agree, transport companies are expensive
i recently looked into getting a bike sent from melbourne to adelaide
$266 from melb depot - adel depot
$355 from melb door - adel door

at that price it would have been cheaper for me to drive and pick it up
deffinatly try to look into it being sent as a back load on another transport company that dosnt specialize in bikes. save ya a few dollars.

i got a pocket bike posted up from down south, think it was south aus. I didnt have to pay for postage as it was included in the price, but it would of been cheap because it was free for me. lol .. It got sent through startrek or something.
