As a start you could read, Mi Moto Fidel by Christopher P. Baker. See the Horizons book section below.

It was a "fair" book. It's a few years old so some of the travel restrictions may have changed.
The book is a social and political comment.
He was not a motorcyclist and did not want to bother to learn anything about his bike.
Which he trashed.

Thanks John
Red the book. Byside all the "nice" descriptions of his "contacts" on the island, the "getting there section" is quiet a bit frustrating. If one imagines, that the bike gets shaken arround one the deck of some kind scrap heap ;-).... I'm not sure if a "modern" bike would survive things like that..

Got in contact with a swiss forwarder in between which sounds very competent in such "delicate" shipping-orders than bringing an European bike to Cuba and back.
Will of course keep this board informed about further progress!

Cuba si!

Dr Greg Fraiser wrote a great article on riding in cuba. I am thinking of a trip there down the road. have you considered bring in a cheap used 125-250cc bike , trade it for cigars on your way out. instead of hassling with a big dollar MC. just a thought.

Greg's article's are here:
