Honda Varadero 125 (No. 7533776)

Motorcycles and scooters are not only expensive, but also not easy to secure when shipped. Though, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we have. It is doable to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without troubles, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the type of transportation. Thanks to some helpful advice you could avoid any scratches, and dents that often happen if a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

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

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or items that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also doable to transport a motorbike in a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing to be considered is installing the side pads to secure the insides of the van and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or van, can let you transport your motorcycle not occupying the whole space in the car.

Remember to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will suffice to transport your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden platform 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 substantial damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
