[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1416060, member: 118"] See my link above for Stefan Knopf Tours. He is extremely helpful and handles all the logistics. I looked into doing it all myself and it would be a complete, and utter PIA!!! He ships one container a year from Long Beach to Frankfurt. He is located in Heidelberg, 45 minutes south of Frankfurt. I dropped off my 09 FJR just before the deadline on February 12th giving it plenty of time to get to Europe for the summer. All I know is my FJR is currently on the boat and on it's way. Cost to ship to Frankfurt was $1445 + 1% of value of the bike and gear for insurance. He flies it home for you for 1945 euros, or about $2,200. When I checked into renting a BMW R1200GS with a GPS the break even point was about 3-3.5 weeks. Of course me leaving it over there for $400/yr makes the next trip really economical as far as the bike is concerned. He handles everything including getting the bike out of customs. Which apparently can be a major PITA. He also has a B-n-B on his property which make arriving and departing that much easier. He also helps with obtaining insurance for the bike and medical insurance, and other particulars. He also sent me a bunch of maps. So far, so good. [/QUOTE]
