Suzuki GSR 750 (No. 7332979)

Motorbikes and mopeds are not only worth a lot, but also not easy to secure when transported. Although, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we got. It is doable to transport a motorcycle or a moped without difficulties, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of shipment. Thanks to some valuable tricks you can prevent any scratches, and dents that could happen if a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are shipping the motorbike using a trailer you will need 4 strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only 2 strapping belts. It is neccessary to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook should not open up by accident during the transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp angles or elements that may possibly tear up the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also reasonable to transport a motorcycle in a truck. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing worth considering is the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the truck and other objects that may be transported just next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a truck or another vehicle, can help you transport your motorbike without occupying the whole space in the car.

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will suffice to ship your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your scooter and loading it in a van could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
