I had a quote to ship a bike to a terminal in France for around $500-$600. I think it was 14 days in transit.

Chris it really has to be a combined effort. Both of you will need to have input on the shipping as it will most likely start as freight being picked up from a business address then being delivered to a port close to the buyer.

Door to door is crazy expensive!

it is expensive im now buying a engine and the main components from the guy in america because the price of shipping with ups goes on dimensions of the box not the weight and then im just going to buy the frame and other stuff over here let me know how you get on
