Depends on what kind of hurry you're in. You would save a shit load of money if you load it on a container and have a vessel take it across for you. But the lead time would be in around 3 to 4 weeks. If you don't have that time to waste and you're timelines are tight, I would suggest you deal with a freight forwarder. They will look after all the customs/paperwork that is involved with taking something of value over seas. They would also find the most cost efficient way of getting it there....airports etc. etc.
i shipped my Yosh GSXR-750 back to Canada from Japan. Customs was a bitch to deal with due to a stack of paperwork but all in all it was only $400 and a few weeks time. this was by boat. oh and it was back in 1992.
yes. i toured the factory while i was visiting the country and they had their old 1990race bike sitting under a tarp ripe for the picking.
man thanks it's a great website
Sounds like a Carnet du Passage, basically a document that assures them the vehicle is legally registered somewhere. It would run about $600 to get one plus the size of the bond which is dependent on value/ possible duties if you don't bring the vehicle home. The Carnet is required by some but not all European countries. Google temporary import into the country (countries ) you are going to and it will tell you what you can be liable for.
