Made deal on Ebay FZ6 - can anyone recommend a good transport company?

[FB400]

I've been shopping for months for an FZ6. I am about to finalize a deal on a 2006.

Desparately need a reference for a good, reputable transport company.

Would be going from Dallas, TX metro to NYC Metro.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not sure if this will help, but I searched another car forum I frequent and found this link: Transport Reviews.com - Ratings and Reviews of Auto Transport Companies - Your Source For Finding a Quality Auto Transporter!

Hellgate had his newbike shipped from Florida to Texas. You might want to try sending him a PM and seeing who he used

How much did you get it for and how many miles were on it?

At my work, we use Yellow Freight when we ship things too big for UPS. Haven't had a problem. Then again, we've never shipped anything like a motorcycle

They supply the container for the shipment.

Howdy, I am in Houston and would like to help if I can. I don't have any specific co's name but at the very least I can throw some resources at you:

Good shop in Dallas:
SOUTHWEST SUPERBIKES Dallas, TX

The "Motorcycle Show" is having their show in Dallas this weekend, here is the exhibitor list, may work:
Dallas Exhibitor List - Cycle World International Motorcycle Shows

We also have Cycle Gear - Motorcycle Apparel, Parts and Accessories shops here, search location and call some of the shops in Dallas, the shops here in Houston are staffed by knowledgeable, friendly people.

How about Motorcycle and ATV reviews, specifications, prices, used motorcycles by PowerSports Network

I will also ask some of the dealers around here and get back to you if I can find some.

I'll back this one up.. i have done lots of business with them for work in the past, and they are excelent.

steer clear of dependable auto shippers, they will be far cheaper than anyone else, but your bike will come in peices.. good luck :thumbup:

Thanks all for the advice.

I have been recuperating from information overload gathered from the internet. As any of you know who hired a shipping company, once you give your information out, company's trip over themselves each telling you how great you are. I used uship and was given tons of leads..alot of them small time carriers that I wasn't comfortable with. uship gets a small fee to hook you up with a carrier. After exhustive research and phone calls over about a 18 h our period I selected one of 2 companies that rated A- on BBB. Both companies are located in FLA. I don't believe in plugging free ads so I won't be doing that here. If you would like a testimony on my experience with the transport company I chose, PM me and we will talk. So far I am very happy with the service I am being given. I was hooked up with a carrier and my bike was placed on a car carrier within 48 hours of listing it. That is really pretty good. The bike should arrive tomorrow or Tues.

Now, about the bike!!!
2006 FZ6 Team Yamaha blue. 2800 miles. The price was low enough to offset the $495 shipping cost. This bike still cost me hundreds less than if I bought it locally here in NY and the miles are really low.

I will post photo's once it gets here..

thanks all!
