Ask for a 20' container quote. It won't be half the price, but it will be less than a 40' container. You can stuff a lot of bikes in a 20' container if you put your mind to it. Do make sure that bike are well secured. A friend and another rider had their bike fall over while in transit. Not a huge problem, but the bikes didn't ride right until the gas clear out of the air filter or something like that.
PS: If you don't know already, motorcycles are considered hazardous cargo and you will incur charges to that effect. This knowledge comes from a 2 year consulting gig with a Japanese shipping liner company. I have never shipped anything in container myself and decided to simply buy and store a 250cc bike in Peru between trips. The Darien Gap can kiss my ass.
