I just air shipped my bike from NZ to AU with Green Freight. Really good guys that do a lot of bikes.

The bike when uncrated and the costs where (in NZ$):
frieght: $1410.15 a chargeable weight of 595kg.
doc fee/airway doc fee/dangerous good fee and certs/tax/etc: $400

I got there late and so I couldn't 'shrink' the bike at all and just disconnected the battery, so another BMW GSA would be less. That being said, the whole thing took less than 30 minutes and they didn't just tell me to come back next week since I was late, so no complaints.

*Quick update: The fees at the Quantas side in AU were $160 and the biohazard inspection fee was $90AU. The biohazard thing had me doing some running around, but as an FYI until they found out that the bike was uncrated they wanted me to truck it their Rosebury facility (about 6km away) for inspection. Once they knew it was uncrated they did the inspection there out of the quaratine office at Quantas. I still had to go over to Rosebury ($15AU return on train, get off at 2nd stop, Green Square, 10 minute walk- they'll give you a map) to pay for it and have them ask the people at the airport to do the inspection. A bit of a pain, but better than trucking. The inspection itself lastest all of 30 seconds as the woman just walked around it and said "looks good". Since the bike came from NZ I'm sure things were easier, but all and all I'd really try to get the people at the Quantas quarantine control to do it.

So, a grand total of around $1650USD for everything for a BMW 1200 GSA completely untouched- windscreen, rearview mirrors, and panniers (3) still attached.
