shipping bikes to Vladivostok or South Korea

Hi
My partner and I will start our trip from Vladivostok in May 2020. We will be riding DR6950's and be on the road for approx. one year.
We will be shipping the bikes from New Zealand and meet up with them after we have visited China.
Is it better to ship the bikes directly to Vladivostock or as it seems popular to ship them to Incheon in South Korea and take the Ferry to Vladivostok?
We would appreciate any experiences from people that have shipped to either place recently.
Regards
Rob and Tanya.

Hi,

You can do both, we can provide support for both options, but Vladivostok would be more logical place to start.
Only issue is getting the coverage when you get to Vlad is that you need to go to the city to get insurance as there is no option anymore to buy one at the border. Very often that means that you need a translator for the docs that you will give to the insurance company (crazy but until we create a product for the Russian market that everyone is asking for, it's how it is).

as far as I know there is no reliable option to send a bike to Vladivostok, but to South Korea it is no Problem at all.
As per Yuri of Links in Vladivosatok there is no Transport way to Magadan


Let me know if we can assist for Transport to Busan


Cheers
Olaf

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
