Hi Shridhar. I just completed a RTW ride and am just starting my second. So I guess you can wish me well on the first leg of the second trip! I chose Lufthansa because I have found it less expensive to deal with companies directly. I was a commercial pilot for 15 years and came to learn the major airline hubs/routes. Visit the Lufthansa website and then check out the CARGO website. US carriers won't normally ship a motorcycle. Many European carriers will. When I last checked, South African Airways and Ethiopian shipped bikes as well. As far as you're concerned, Mexicana might ship bikes, but the aircraft they operate might be too small for this. Lufthansa fly freight-only aircraft from Chicago to Frankfurt, as such they can easily haul heavy freight with no problems. Check the HU shipping pages and shop around. I was quoted $800usd to have my bike crated. BMW Chicago is giving me a crate and I only have to pay for a truck rental, something like $30usd plus fuel! Good luck. H.
