Hi Motylek,

I shipped from Hamburg to Valparaiso (Chile) and back with Martina and Enzo ( villakunterbuntvalpo@yahoo.de ) - they make the shipping of about 150 Motorcycles per year. Martina prepares you an Excel sheet with all the costs (you just have to ask kindly-maybe ask two times)
The price you mentioned is really good, but I guess its not the full price (Customs/habour costs, storage etc.)...

Cheers carliO
