In the past I have had a lot of emails with shipping quotes all over the map...Therefore, When you try and Get a Shipping Quote... I would try & get several (many) shipping quotes (& get a estimated pick up date in writing) before you commit or finalize a deal & or make a deposit) with a shipper... as one of the last bikes I sold out of our collection went to North Carolina via USHIP.COM, (which is about 3,000 miles from here)...it was a 1975 YAMAHA 400 Enduro which weights nearly about DOUBLE of what this auctions Magnificent 1975 HONDA ELSINORE CR 250 Vintage Racing bike Beauty Weights ( I would estimate only about 175 pounds!!!) & he was only charged about 350 US dollars a few months ago...I think ebay may have a shipping site, but if you want a very competitive rate I would go thru Uship.com & get "LOTS OF BIDS" the first bids you will receive will most likely be the highest $$ quotes that you will receive...Also, Please Keep in mind, I live Very Close to the Central Business Hub of Los Angeles & Also the Los Angeles (Long Beach Harbor) areas & Millions of Trucks leave this area every day all you need to do is find a truck that has a little space & that is headed in your direction & I am sure the price would be a lot better for you than if you deal with some trucker that is not ! Again, If you need a shipper I would get "Lots of Quotes" (I have always had Great Luck with USHIP.COM & plan on "the rates will vary widely" (IE) as a trucker that is already here in Los Angeles Area & is already planning on going your direction will be a lot different rate than some one that is not already here & is not going any where near your direction...Also, "Please Remind the trucking Co. you are getting the quote from that ..."This bike is a relatively nimble + very simple dirt bike & ONLY weights about 180 Pounds" (It is NOT a "HUGE" 700 pound Harley etc) So the Shipping rate should be FAR Cheaper & Should definitely reflect that difference.Also, If it will get you a better Shipping Rate Also, I will deliver this bike to any Los Angeles Area Based Shippers Distribution yard hub for "FREE" & or if you live out of the Country I will deliver this Bike to any Los Angeles Based International Shipper yard in the Los Angles Area for You for "FREE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!! "PLEASE NOTE": "THE BUY IT NOW PRICE" my "Buy it Now" Price of Only.... 3750 US dollars ! ! (It was Well OVER $4,500.00!) (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY LOWERED Aprox $800.00 ) For a Quick "No Brainer" Sale...Again..A Nice example of a 73-74 Vintage Racing HONDA ELSINORE CR 250 NADA.com Value Guides (Blue Books) for nearly $10,000.00 & approx.Four years ago "Moto Cross Action" magazine estimated a 1973-4 CR 125 ((NOT A REAL DEAL MORE VALUABLE CR 250)) HONDA ELSINORE would be worth up to ~$9,000.00 or ~$10,000.00 (for just a 125 ELSINORE ! ) ...I invested a lot of time & Effort to make this Wonderful Vintage Racer look a lot like a STUNNING 1974 CR 250 ELSINORE & Not a Painfully Super ugly all faded orange (Yuck) mono orange on orange 75 CR 250 ELSINORE that would still NADA.com Value Guide for a lot more than my Buy it now Price) nearly double my asking price ..With This Wonderful Vintage Racing Bike You Get the Very Best of Both Worlds (IE) more 1973-4-5 ELSINORE Lk Looks & paint Scheme with the Vastly Superior 1975 Air Fork SUSPENSION & Upgraded TWIN rear Shocks Tougher Frame & Updated "Better Power" !!! <<& overall I believe "A SUPERIOR VINTAGE RACER AS COMPARED TO A 1973-74 HONDA ELSINORE CR 250" >>These 1975 ELSINORE's are Fairly Rare & I do not believe You will find a Better Overall Example with so little use & as Beautifully updated as Nicely Tributed to look Far More Like a 1973-4 CR 250 as this Wonderful Bike for anything around my "Buy it Now" Price of Only.... 3750 US dollars ! ! (It was WELL OVER $4,500.00) ..& Best of all With this Wonderful Bike You will get the Very Best of Both Worlds ! Therefore, these are FAR MORE Collectible & Race-able as these still also have their Vintage Race-able "DUAL SHOCK" Rear Suspension are SUPERIOR as compared to earlier 1973-1974- Rear Suspensions & her Forks also have More SUSPENSION TRAVEL than a Pre-1975 (All 1973-74) etc HONDA ELSINORE CR 250 !!! ! & this is the last years that I feel has the early CR 1973-75 AMAZING Balance & Natural Stability ....& compared to a earlier RACING ELSINORE "She Has Vastly Upgraded Adjustable AIR FORKS & She is about the last of the DUAL Rear Shocks" ! Happy Holidays ...& Happy Bidding to All
