Does anyone know, or dealt with, an honest reliable shipper that can get a Ducati from Medford, Oregon to Minneapolis, Minnesota without charging an arm and a leg?
Try Shippingmasters. I shipped my Multi from Oklahoma to Oregon. No issues, the were easy to deal with and it didn't take very long. As I recall it was about $495.
i have shipped many motorcyles all over the U.S. using forward air they have always been reliable and have never had any bikes damaged. their pricing is very competitive and you can even rent a completley enclosed steel container from them if you wish but i have always built my own crates.
