Jeanie,
If you decide to Fly it, don't go near forwarding agents, we were quoted uo to $7000 for ours. All you have to do is get a dangerous goods cert. leave a 1/4 tank of fuel, then take it to Qantas and they even put it on a pallet rack for you. Should cost about $7-$8 a kilo for a sml bike. Plus fuel surcharge of about $1 and a couple of other charges. You will get out of it this end I would think around $1500. Qantas try to tell you to go thru an agent but don't you will save plenty. Send me an email and I will get a price for you off the Qantas bloke who is doing ours as he is really helpfull.
We are shipping ours for the same reason you are we set them up and did some trips to get used to them, as it will be many years before they return to OZ if ever.
Cheers
Paul
