Hi,

I’m currently in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador and need to have my motorcycle air freighted to Montreal, Canada.

Does anyone have any suggestion on a company that does this? Any contacts and prices would be helpful.

Regards,

Might you be better off selling it? Is it worth shipping back to Canada?

Have you checked into what price your motorcycle might bring, if sold used, in Ecuador? 

Odds are that if it's valuable enough to bother to ship it to Montreal, you could sell it in Ecuador for quite a good price, more than it would cost to buy the same model used or even a new one in Montreal.

It's a 2001 BMW R1150GS. Honestly, it has more of a centimental value to it.
