Shipping a dirtbike cost?....?.

How much does it cost to ship a dirtbike let's say from the Midwest to the east coast ( Ct) who do you use for a shipper? I found a husky of my dreams. I want to get back a model I parted with.

Or would it be better to ship it in pieces since it needs a restoration anyway?

I never did this before so sorry for the dumb questions.

about $400

if there was a choice of together vs. in pieces
I would say complete, if nothing else less likely to not include parts
also a quick integrity assessment on your part, plus a quick look at the bigger picture

Price would probably depend on shipper . Have seen $650 from Cali to Vt . Make sure shipper is legal for all states they have to pass thru and insured . Buddy had a bike shipped and got pulled over . He had a new bigger trailer but wasn't legal for the stated trailer weight . Trooper wouldn't allow trailer to be back on road until all paperwork taken care of . Bike had to be put into a storage unit until driver could prove all legal again . Needless to say it wasn't a quick delivery but did get here .

Joe is dead nuts on the pricing

call 1-888-haulbikes.

Thanks guys I figure you would know.

Husky of your dreams? You can't just throw that out there without giving us a hint as to what you're looking at.

1981 cr250 that's my old rocket. I ported my last one to the max. Sorry I sold it.

Cheaper if you are patient with the delivery schedule. I paid $800 for coast to coast, $500 from TX, $400 from FL, $600 from MN (to RI). I've used HaulBIKEs, uship and random people. If its a museum piece, pay up and use HAULBIKES. Have the seller take a ton of pictures before its loaded.

true distance does matter.... a show bike does matter.....he asked from Midwest to new England and on a dirt bike. waiting til a shipper is making a "run" through the pickup area and heading to your area matters too. can knock off some bucks. why I said the $400 figure as an "average"

That is the average I have paid shipping down to South California.

I had very good service from Federal Motorcycle Transport recently... they strap the bike to a special pallet and have great tracking. Wasn't the cheapest. Did include $6000 "free" insurance. It did arrive early and without a scratch. I saved a few bucks by picking it up at the local moving and storage warehouse instead of having it delivered right to the house. A while back I sold a Yamaha to a guy back east who used U-ship. He got a great price and everything went well.
