BMW R80 (No. 7297381)

Motorcycles and mopeds are not only expensive, but also difficult to protect while being transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with transport we gained. It is possible to transport a motorbike or a moped without problems, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the method of transportation. Thanks to some valuable tricks you can avoid any damages, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are transporting your motorbike using a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is designed for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only 2 belts. It's crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up by accident during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or items that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also feasible to transport a motorbike inside a truck. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorbike mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing to be considered is the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that will accompany the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or van, can let you transport your motorbike without occupying the whole space in the car.

Check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to carry your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorcycle and loading it in a van could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
