I've heard from multiple sources that shipping from Vancouver should be under $500... how can it be $1500 from somewhere closer?
if you factor the taxes and insure the frt (its a 15k load) and then have it power tailgated to your location, instead of terminal drop (whos riding it home in Dec?) and your at 1500 give or take. Dont forget the fuel surcharge, they show that later on the invoice. I do this business a lot.
If your moving a 3k Honda 600 its a different story.
