FWIW, you picked two of the most expensive airports in the world so far as freight handling charges are concerned, so, you have every reason to pat yourself on the back about the price you paid.
I normally ship out of Montreal or Toronto to Paris or Frankfurt, and it typically costs me about $1,400 or so for a single, 400 kg moto. Weight is not the issue, cubic volume is.
Sounds to me like you got a good deal, although I would be interested in hearing what supplementary charges you get hit with by the freight handler in LHR.
