Comments: 

I shipped my BMW1200GS from Panama to Cape Towm in January 2011. It cost $2000 from the Panama side and when I got to Cape Town it cost another $1000 to get it out. It took 62 days from when I last saw it in Panama to when I collected it in Cape Town. I think the actually sea time was 53 days.

The company in Panama were very helpful and reasonably efficient. They hadn't shipped many motorbikes but did their level best to help. They picked me up and dropped me off when I need it and helped with the paper work. The staff spoke good English.

In Cape Town I dealt with ILA. And they were fantastic.

All in all it went really well. Many people had warned me about shipping. Especially as the crate had to go from Panama to Rotterdam and then change ships for South Africa. But it all went well and I would recommend using either of these companies.
