The common methods of shipping a motorcycle include container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-Off. If you are on a budget, Roll-On/ Roll Off it is the most inexpensive way to ship. The motorcycle is driven on the deck, tires fitted into the metal plates to immobilize it and body strapped to minimize movement during transit. There are a few rules that must be followed when choosing this method of shipping:

• Motorcycle must be cleaned thoroughly
• Must have one-fourth tank of gas
• Leave the keys in the switch
• Remove all objects that could fall off during transport such as helmet, gloves

The other method of sea-bound freight shipping is Container shipping. It provides a lot of protection for your motorcycle as you have the option of crating the bike before it is put within shipping containers along with your household goods (if you are hiring the whole container) or along with other motorcycles (if sharing the container space).
