Motorcycle transport across Europe

A motorcycle is light but vulnerable: it has to stand upright, be strapped without loading the suspension too hard, and stay dry on a long trip. Carriers on TransportMatch quote per bike and per route, so a single machine can travel along with freight that is already going your way.

How bikes travel

Most motorcycles go in a closed box truck or van with a ramp, secured on a wheel chock and strapped through the triple clamps or frame. Several bikes are often combined in one load, which is why prices per bike drop when the carrier already serves that corridor.

Fuel, keys and accessories

Keep the tank low, hand over one key and remove loose accessories such as top boxes, sat navs and soft luggage. Fragile fairings and race bikes without a side stand should be flagged in advance so the carrier brings the right supports.

Seasonal and event transport

Track days, rallies and classic shows create clear peaks. Posting a few weeks ahead of an event gives you more quotes than booking in the same week, and return trips right after an event are often cheaper because carriers want a load home.

What to include in your request

  • Make, model and approximate weight
  • Whether the bike runs and can be rolled
  • Any missing side stand, fairing damage or race preparation
  • Pick-up and delivery address with country
  • Preferred date or event deadline
  • Photos from both sides of the bike

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to prepare the motorcycle?

Keep fuel low, remove loose luggage and accessories, and make sure tyre pressures are normal so the bike can be rolled onto the vehicle.

Can a non-running motorcycle be moved?

Yes, as long as the wheels turn. State it clearly, because the carrier then needs a ramp and an extra pair of hands.

Can several bikes travel together?

Yes. Post them as one job with the number of bikes in the description — carriers price a multi-bike load considerably lower than separate trips.
