Suzuki SV 650 (No. 7546569)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also hard to secure while being transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we gained. It is possible to transport a motorbike or a moped without troubles, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some valuable tricks you can prevent any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen when a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are shipping the motorcycle using a trailer you will need 4 strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially dedicated for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only 2 belts. It is essential to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or parts that may possibly cut the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also possible to transport a motorcycle inside a truck. The protection and equipment obligatory 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 protect the insides of the truck and other objects that will be transported just next to the motorbike.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or another vehicle, can let you ship your motorcycle without occupying the entire space in the car.

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will suffice to carry your motorcycle. For instance, using a wooden platform for lifting your scooter and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
