It is just like the case with the Kawasaki Ninja 500 that recently had to move from Cincinnati, Ohio to Flagstaff, Arizona. The distance travelled by the motorcycle within the enclosed trailer was about 1,722 miles, and the total cost of moving the motorcycle was $1,419.
The motorcycle being new, the best option was enclosed transport as it would protect the motorcycle from the environmental conditions during the entire journey.
The Route
Ninja 500 was collected in Cincinnati, OH 45207, and was then delivered to Flagstaff, AZ 86001, which entails about 1,722 miles of driving.
It is quite far.
The delivery will involve a vast area of the country, going through the Midwest until northern Arizona. Depending on the distance and conditions, the vehicle may experience different weather, climate and road situations.
When the motorcycle is being transported in a trailer for so many miles, the preparation for transportation should be especially good.
It is not just transporting a motorcycle from one driveway to another. It should stay intact and safe for the whole duration of the trip.
Enclosed Transport
2025 Kawasaki Ninja 500 was shipped in an enclosed trailer.
This is an important factor when you consider a motorcycle.
A motorcycle is different from a car since it has various parts and surfaces that can be damaged by elements like rain, dust, and dirt. On a trip spanning 1,700 miles, this becomes all the more true.
The use of an enclosed trailer prevents this damage.
It is also comforting to know that a brand new motorcycle is not lying out in the open while the carrier makes its journey through several states.
Ninja 500 was shipped in the trailer all the way from Cincinnati to Flagstaff.
Transport Cost Cover
The overall cost for transporting this shipment is equal to $1,419.
Considering the fact that the distance between Cincinnati and Flagstaff is around 1,722 miles, it makes $0.82 per mile.
In spite of the fact that at first glance it sounds like an unusually low price for motorcycle shipping over such a great distance, it should be mentioned that cost per mile does not mean fixed motorcycle shipping rate.
Prices may change according to many factors such as routing, carrier, equipment used, time period when the service was needed and required level of protection.
Distance is definitely a significant factor, but it’s not the only one.
In this case, the price also included the usage of enclosed equipment for shipping the motorcycle.
