memomemo,
we sent our DL650 in Jan-2008 from Chennai to KL to Bangkok with Malaysia Airlines MASKargo, and it ended up costing about 600 euros. Shell Air was our shipping agent in Chennai. Sure it was a lot of work, even a PITA sometimes, and customs clearence seemed like a big hassle. But in the end everything went according to the plan (almost!) so I didnt feel like we were getting screwed (was VERY exhausted after India, though!!!) So could you please be a bit more specific about whether you shipped by air or by sea, and how it all went, what where the trouble spots, and how much it cost you altogether?

I shipped the bike via Air Cargo and paid like 1000 USD. (Similar price like yours) But lately i find out that if i could have make this operation from Delhi or Mumbai,it could be more cheap,like 600 USD. Because at these points there is big big air traffic and competition. So the prices are more cheap when you compared to Chennai.
And i also was unlucky about the cargo agency. Last day after i paid all the money to them,they told me that i can take my carnet in the airport and everything is done. It was 3 hours to my flight and when i go there, my motorbike is still outside in the parking lot of customs and there was a big cue of trucks!! (like 50 trucks). Long story short in 2.5 hours time i was running like a mad cow to take the truck which carrying my bike into the customs area(there were lot of fights between me and other truck drivers) and found a lift to take off my bike(again arguements and very close to a big fight),and i begged 4 different officers to sign my carnet. Thanks god the officers were really kind and i did the impossible mission in 2.5 hours without any bribes.
The company name is Shansoon Logistics. Please stay away from them if you dont wanna be mad. They did nothing but gave me big trouble..
Memo
