Add another $460usd to the cost of shipping my 650cc motorcycle from Vladivostok to Donghae.
$230usd for 2 months motorcycle insurance
$130usd for customs guarauntee
$100usd miscelaneous customs fees at Korean dock
The Koreans do try to make all the paperwork and etc as painless as possible and they are very pleasant people to deal with, plus the Korean people appear happier than Russian people.
The ferry trip was 23 hours, the boat was clean and organized and I slept like a log in the bottom bunk bed. Everyone on the boat was pleasant.
Dinner buffet $10usd, breakfast $7usd, cup of coffee $3usd, no fizzy sodas like Coca Cola.
Yes I would take the ferry again, no I will not ship my motorcycle again I would buy/resell/rent a local bike, with 50-80KPH speed limits I won't need the bigger bike horsepower IMHO.
