Here's Air Canada's website: https://www.aircanada.com/cargo/en/s...otorcycle.html
When you talk to Air Canada, ask them what the cheapest destination is. There are significant price differences between locations - for example, London and Zurich are quite expensive, I think Paris is pretty cheap.
Prices are even lower if you travel on the same flight as the motorcycle. In the past, it has only taken me 2 hours to get the bike out of customs at the destination... that's only about 90 minutes longer than baggage claim.

Dear Michael - thanks for answer. However I did not ask for information about air freight with Air Canada. I have been in touch with Air Canada and I find their prices quite steep to be honest. From Toronto to Frankfurt its 1150 can dollars if I fly with them and thats not too bad, but a one way ticket with them from Toronto to Frankfurt is 1348 can dollars last time I checked on a mid week flight. And thats where the problem lies, how can it be significantly cheaper to fly a ~ 275 kilo bike which is considered dangerous goods from A to B than a human being of 90 kilo???? I dont even think cheked in luggage was included in that price. This stinks big time and if thats the way Air Canada are making money on their socalled «fly your bike» program with mandatory personal tickets which is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!!! They make it look so cheap by offering relatively low fares freighting bikes but takes it back many times by EXCESSIVE prises on the personal ticket. And if you fly your bike with them and yourself with another airline the price of the bike freight is 1500 can dollar on above mentioned destinations.
Thats a company I dont want to deal with at all!!!
Talkin about clickbaiting potential customers..... 
And furthermore - I dont want to or like to do things the way all others do, I like to do things my way. Simple as that, then the others can do what they like and want...
