Hey Lukas,
The flight (one way) and all costs for James in UK was £1645.
In BA airport, there are 2 charges. You pay an admin charge to the airline, which will vary dependent on the airline. My bike went with Emirates (James sort that out and will pick the cheapest) and the fee was approx £125.
Then you also pay the customs and storage. This of course depends on how long you leave the bike at the airport, and also the weight of the bike. My bike is a Tenere 660 and I included my panniers (full of kit). The fee was approx £160.
And I choose to pay Sandra at Dakar Motos to do all the clearance for me, which cost USD250.
These costs was as at October 2012.
So let's call it a cool £2100!!!!
