I shipped my K75S from Portland Oregon to Daytona for this years
bike week (I rode it back!). The company I used is The Federal Co's.
You can reach them at 1-800-747-4100 ex 214. You either have to be
a AMA member, or maybe it is just a discount for AMA, not sure.
(Call 1-800-AMA-JOIN to become an AMA member)
The shipping cost is based on the number of miles. It cost me about $500
for Portland to Orlando. $80 of that was insurance. All I had to do is
ride it to the shipping dock and siphon the gas out. I think they can
also pick up the bike from any business. The bike arrived on-time at
Orlando. All I had to do was adjust the mirrors and add gas. The bike
was in perfect shape!
