How to Transport a Motorcycle from Jamestown, North Dakota


If you need to ship a motorcycle to or from Jamestown, North Dakota, numerous motorcycle transport companies can assist. Whether you're purchasing a pre-owned bike, selling an old one, or simply need to relocate your motorcycle from one location to another, discovering the ideal shipping service can be daunting. However, don't fret, Shiply simplifies the process of comparing prices & companies, frequently with quotes up to 75% less expensive than standard rates.


When it comes to transporting a motorcycle (and considering the cost), there are two primary options. The most economical & straightforward method is to have someone ride your bike to its destination. While this is uncomplicated, it does come with risks such as damage during the trip, increased mileage, and it only works if the motorcycle is functioning correctly.


The most common way to transport a motorcycle is by using trailers. These can be open or enclosed, with closed trailers being preferred for expensive or classic bikes because they provide more protection against accidents & weather. However, enclosed trailers typically cost more. Open trailers are generally less expensive but your motorcycle will be less secure. Door-to-door shipping is the most requested service, but if you reside somewhere difficult to access, terminal-to-terminal delivery is available at designated pick-up and drop-off points.


The cost of transporting a motorcycle varies based on several factors, but typical prices range from $180 to $300 for trips under 1,000 miles & $300 to $700 for journeys over 1,000 miles. Factors that influence the cost include:


Jamestown, situated in Stutsman County, North Dakota, is a small city with a population of around 15,000 people. Despite its size, Jamestown is a popular destination for motorcycle enthusiasts. The city hosts annual motorcycle rallies & events that attract riders from all over the country. Many people choose to have their bikes shipped to Jamestown for these events, as riding long distances can be exhausting & time-consuming.


Moreover, Jamestown is home to several motorcycle dealerships & repair shops. People often ship their motorcycles to Jamestown to take advantage of these services, whether they're buying a new bike, getting repairs done, or selling their old one. Shipping a motorcycle can be more convenient & cost-effective than riding it long distances, especially if the bike needs work or isn't in running condition.


With so many motorcycle shipping companies out there, it can be challenging to know which one to choose. That's where Shiply comes in.

Does Someone Have To Be Present For Pickup And Delivery?

How Much Fuel Should I Have In My Motorbike During Transit?

Generally, you should aim to have around a quarter of your tank full if the motorcycle needs to be moved during transport. This allows for easy loading and unloading of the motorcycle but will not add too much extra weight to the vehicle.

Can I Ship My Motorbike If It Isn't Running?

You can ship your motorcycle if it isn’t in running condition, however, this will be more expensive as specialist equipment is required to load and unload the vehicle.
