YES IT EXPENSIVE
make sure you want the bike and the guy i use is money up front then the australian people want money up front befor it gets here.
also you need to get a permit from canberra to import it no approval it goes back at your cost.$50.00 and about 4 weeks xmas comming up may be longer

$200.00 is about 130.00 pounds if my motor will cost that i would be chearing i would even buy 2 at that shipping cost

Not to worry, the fellow at the other end, is not willing to help to ship.

In 2011 i shipped this from Southampton depot to my door here for a bit over 500 pounds and they built the crate .
I just delivered the bike (disassembled) and the other stuff to them and they took care of the rest .

At this end NZ there was a fee to clean the tyres and that was all .

I think your importing rules are tougher though (if you do it by the book )

Crate was way bigger than i needed , size and weight are written on the box .

Shipping was based on cubic size rather than weight ( up to a point that was very heavy )

I used the same shipper as Jimmy, www.chasmortimer.co.uk and he was expensive but he was extremely efficient and hassle free. It's always going to be more expensive getting bikes and parts out of the UK and Europe than out of the USA because of the distance but the upside of dealing with Chas was that he handled every little detail. All I had to do was pay him and wait at my front door for my stuff to arrive. Chas is currently shipping some bikes from Sweden for Jonesy which would have been a logistics nightmare if not for Chas and his company.

NZ receivers deliverers Transworld international removers ( probably have an Aussie opperation )

But they were both very easy to deal with .

I need someone in England to pick the bike up and crate it, do these shipper that you suggest do just that.

where is the bike?  I am in Bristol if that helps.  It can be sent here if needs be.  Chas is coming to see me soon.  That said if it is miles away just get it sent straight to Chas.  He can get it collected or I can offer details of some good blokes who move bikes round the UK daily.  the bases are well covered.
