Motorcycle Shipping & Transport

Shipping a motorcycle takes a different skill set than hauling a car. Neptune uses secure crating, soft-strap tie-downs and motorcycle-savvy carriers to move cruisers, sport bikes, touring rigs and custom builds safely across the country.

Motorcycle transport done properly

A motorcycle has just two wheels, a high center of gravity and delicate bodywork — which means it cannot simply be strapped down like a car and sent on its way. Proper motorcycle shipping requires the right equipment and a carrier who knows how to immobilize and protect a bike for the long haul.

Neptune's motorcycle service uses purpose-built methods: wheel chocks to hold the bike upright, soft straps over the right contact points, and secure mounting or crating so your motorcycle stays stable from pickup to delivery. Cruisers, sport bikes, touring motorcycles, adventure bikes and custom builds are all welcome.

Secure crating and soft-strap tie-downs

Depending on the bike and the route, your motorcycle may be secured in a dedicated chock-and-strap setup or in a protective crate. Either way, we avoid hard chains and instead use soft straps positioned to hold the bike firmly without stressing forks, bars or bodywork.

For high-value, custom or vintage motorcycles, crating adds an extra shell of protection. Your specialist will recommend the best method based on your bike and how far it is traveling.

Open or enclosed for your bike

Motorcycles can ship on open carriers in a secured setup, which is the most economical option, or fully enclosed for maximum protection from weather and debris. For premium, custom or collector motorcycles, enclosed transport is the popular choice and keeps your bike completely shielded and out of sight.

If you are shipping multiple bikes or coordinating with a car shipment, let us know — we can often combine them efficiently on the same move.

Insured and documented every mile

Just like our vehicle shipments, motorcycle transport is covered by verified carrier insurance, and we document your bike's condition with photos at pickup and delivery. You receive a clear record and the reassurance that your motorcycle is protected throughout the journey.

We will also share a short prep checklist — things like reducing fuel, disabling alarms and noting any leaks — so your bike is ready to load when the carrier arrives.

From dealerships to cross-country rides

Whether you have bought a bike online, are relocating, sending a motorcycle to a rally or event, or moving a prized custom across the country, Neptune handles it with two-wheel expertise. Request a quote with your motorcycle's make, model and dimensions and we will design the safest transport plan for it.

Shipping multiple bikes, events and seasonal moves

Motorcycle transport is not only for one-off relocations. Riders ship bikes to rallies and races, snowbirds send motorcycles south for the season, collectors move prized machines between homes, and buyers bring home bikes purchased across the country. Neptune handles all of it with the same two-wheel expertise.

If you are shipping more than one motorcycle, or coordinating a bike alongside a car, let us know — we can often combine them efficiently on a single move to save you money. For events with firm dates, we plan timing carefully so your motorcycle arrives ready to ride. And for seasonal riders, booking both legs in advance locks in better rates and dependable scheduling before the busy windows hit.
