How to transport motorbike from Kassel/Frankfurt to Lisbon?

#1 Beitrag von Garrido » Do Jul 26, 2012 16:11

Hello All. My name is Ricardo, new to this site and new owner of a GSX1100G 1993, based in Kassel, great bike :-).

I am living in Kassel till December this year, originally live in Melbourne, Australia. Arrived here full of plans to travel Europe by train, but couldn't resist the temptation and bought a bike :-).

I have been doing some travelling with my "G", been to Hamburg, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Köln, down the Rhine to Frankfurt, Berlin and back to Kassel, and in September will have a Minding Animals Conference in Lisbon that I would like to attend (just attended one in Utrecht early July), so I am trying to figure out a way to transport the bike from Kassel/Frankfurt to Lisbon, or anywhere near Lisbon and I would ride it back to Kassel. I have enquired through our train system (DBahn), but they don't transport motorbikes.

If anyone is able to recommend a way to do it, or point me to where I could find the information, would be highly appreciated.

Kind regards
Ricardo

Hello Ricardo, welcome "on board" and have fun.

Lisboa seems to be a not so popular target for commercial bike carriers. Lots of them offer transports on a regular base, but mostly to Austria, the Alps, Greece or Italy.
Deutsche Bahn vehicle transport ends at Narbonne, about 100km in front of the French-Spanish borderline.

But after some research I found some interesting offers at Ebay small advertisement.
Transports to Spain and Portugal - Commercial carriers offer cargo hold to avoid an empty trip, have a look.

Hi Ricardo,

welcome to this amazing community; nice to have you here (for all other: in June 2012, I sold my G to Ricardo and I´m sure she came to good hands!)! :-D

I see, you like my "Ex-G" very much und you already had some nice trips with the bike - wish you a lot more good and healthy kilometers straight through Europe!

Surely you will find the right solution for your "transport-problem" to Lisbon; Uwe´s (gsxfan) advice seems to be not bad...

All the best for you and your "G"!

Kind regards from Baunatal

Jörg

As Uwe said, there are some commercial bike-shuttles like sks-bikeshuttle near Frankfurt or you ask for an offer at uship.com

I had very good experience with

www.moto-cargo.de/

I think they do also international transports.

Hello All
And thank you all or the replies, I am chasing some of the suggestions and hope to get something soon.

Great to be here and be enjoying Jörg's "ex-G" :-) ... indeed an old lady, but a smooth ride ... and still attracting people and stopping to refuel ;-) ...!

Off to Italy soon while trying to negotiate the transportation to Lisbon for when I am back here in Kassel.
:-)

Thanks once again

Regards
Ricardo
