Two motorcycles can fit into a LD-6 ('Lower Deck 6) ULD, no problem.

Hello
$1500 for such a big container is almost free, only possible if the airline needs cargo to fill up an empty plane.
$4000 sounds about right for a quote from any major airport to any major Airport around the world, if they have enough other cargo to choose from.
But, who pays $4000 to transport a bike?
Airfares here on the HUBB were all before Corona, now the market is upside down.

We went to California in 2013 having purchased our bikes for the classic Route 66 to Chicago and return to Los Angeles, sell bikes fly home.

What you have to think about is how or who will get the bike from where they are stored to an airport or seaport?
Will you fly there or will it be done by an agent on your behalf?
Getting a small seacontiner for yourself or share with others will be an option.
But, if you're a resident of Australia an want to permanently import the bikes, getting them to Australia is the little part of it.
First, inform yourself how to do that and if it's worth to import used bikes.
Most informations you'll find here on the HUBB is how "tourists" temporarily import a vehicule with the intend of using it as "tourists" and at the end of the trip, to get it out of Australia again.
