Motorcycle Shipping

Motorcycle shipping requires specialized handling that standard auto transport carriers aren't always equipped to provide. At Bronco Car Hauling, we've built a network of motorcycle-specific carriers and trained drivers who know how to properly secure and transport two-wheeled vehicles. Over 15 years, we've shipped everything from vintage Harleys to modern sport bikes, touring rigs, trikes, and custom choppers. Your motorcycle isn't just a vehicle. For most riders, it's a passion. That's why we treat every bike like it belongs to one of our own team members. We use soft tie-downs, wheel chocks, and padding at every contact point. No chains, no scratching, no shortcuts. Whether you're relocating across the country, bought a bike online, or heading to Sturgis and want your ride shipped ahead of you, we've got the experience and equipment to get your motorcycle there safely. We offer both open and enclosed motorcycle transport depending on your bike's value and your comfort level.

How We Secure and Ship Your Motorcycle

Every motorcycle is loaded by a driver trained in two-wheel transport who uses wheel chocks, soft ratchet straps, and frame-mounted tie-down points to keep your bike completely stable. We never use chains or hard clamps that can scratch chrome or damage paint. The bike rides in a wheel chock that locks the front tire in place, and soft straps secure the frame at four points to prevent any lateral movement during transit. For enclosed shipments, the bike is loaded into a climate-controlled trailer that protects against road spray, dust, and weather. For open transport, bikes ride on specialized motorcycle racks that keep them separated from other vehicles. Before loading, the driver inspects your motorcycle and documents its condition with photos. You'll receive the same inspection report at delivery so you can verify everything arrived in the same shape it left.

Motorcycle Shipping Costs and Timeframes

Most motorcycle shipments cost between $300 and $800 for open transport, with enclosed options running $500 to $1,200 depending on distance and bike type. Motorcycles are lighter and smaller than cars, so they typically cost less to ship. However, they require specialized equipment and handling, which means you shouldn't just book the cheapest carrier you can find online. A carrier who doesn't know how to properly secure a motorcycle can cause thousands of dollars in damage. With Bronco Car Hauling, you're getting drivers who've done this before. Transit times run 3 to 7 days for most routes, with expedited options available for time-sensitive moves. We ship from Colorado to every state in the lower 48, plus Alaska and Hawaii. If you're headed to a rally, show, or event, book at least two weeks in advance so we can guarantee delivery before your event date. Call 719-249-6543 for a quote on your specific bike and route.
