What Is Motorcycle Shipping?
Motorcycle shipping is a safe and reliable way to transport your bike using specialized trailers, secure tie-downs, and experienced drivers. Instead of racking up miles, facing unpredictable weather, or finding a trailer, SAKAEM Logistics connects you with licensed and insured motorcycle carriers who handle the entire shipping process for you.
We make it easy to move your street bike, cruiser, adventure bike, dirt bike, or custom motorcycle—no risk, no hassle.

Your Complete Guide to Professional Motorcycle Transport
Request Your Quote
Tell us your pickup and delivery locations, bike model, running condition, and timing. We'll return a clear, competitive quote for your route.
Carrier Match
We assign a vetted, FMCSA-licensed carrier equipped with motorcycle tie-downs, soft straps, and (when needed) liftgates or wheel chocks.
Pickup Coordination
Once a driver is confirmed, you'll get an estimated pickup window. The driver calls ahead, performs a quick inspection, and you (or your trusted contact) sign the Bill of Lading before loading.
In-Transit Updates
Your SAKAEM Logistics coordinator keeps you updated and alerts you about any weather or traffic delays. No surprises—just smooth motorcycle shipping.
Delivery & Handoff
Your driver calls prior to arrival. After unloading and a quick inspection, you sign to complete the shipment and you're good to roll.
Open, Enclosed & Crated
Choose the shipping method that fits your motorcycle and budget.
Open Motorcycle Transport
The most affordable way to ship your bike. Your motorcycle travels on a multi-vehicle open carrier—ideal for standard bikes in good weather.
Enclosed Motorcycle Transport
Shields your bike inside a covered trailer—perfect for luxury, vintage, or custom motorcycles. Wheel chocks and soft ties keep your motorcycle stable and protected.
Crated or Palletized Shipping
Secures your bike on a pallet or in a crate inside an enclosed trailer. Ideal for long-distance moves, restorations, or shipping extra parts with your motorcycle.
Note: Not all configurations fit every trailer type (tall ADV screens, ape-hangers, wide bars, or long rakes may limit fit). Confirm fit with your SAKAEM shipping advisor before selecting enclosed or crated options.

What Affects the Cost of Motorcycle Shipping
Motorcycle shipping prices vary based on route, equipment, and timing. Understanding these inputs helps you plan and save. For a deeper breakdown, see our complete cost guide.
- 1 Distance & Lane Demand: Longer routes cost more overall; popular lanes often dispatch faster with competitive pricing.
- 2 Bike Type & Weight: Heavier touring/cruiser models or wide bars may limit placement and adjust pricing slightly.
- 3 Transport Method: Open is most economical; enclosed or crated adds premium protection—ideal for high-value or vintage bikes.
- 4 Running Condition: Non-running bikes may require winching and specialized handling (modest surcharge).
- 5 Seasonality & Flexibility: Spring/summer demand and winter weather can affect timing. Wider pickup windows give dispatchers more options, often improving price and speed.
Pro Tip
Remove loose accessories (GoPros, phone mounts), disable alarms, lock bars, and keep fuel at ~¼ tank for a smoother pickup.
