Comments: 

We shipped two Royal Enfield's from Australia to Singapore.

It was far too expensive for us to ride the bikes in Singapore, so we used a company called Bikebulance (Daniel 64255333) to tow us to the Malaysian causeway. Be prepared when you get there as you are literally dropped on the side of the road and there is no emergency lane.

the breakdown of our cost were

$240 au to ship the bikes from Australia. the main royal enfield importer gave us two crates.
$353 au for the fee's at the port and warehouse fee's in Singapore.

$403 au for the towing to the Malaysian causeway.

It was going to cost us something like $600 dollars each to ride through Singapore. the main cost being the insurance which was $400 as we are only 24 and 25.

my recommendation would be to ship directly into Malaysia. There are a lot less loopholes to get through.
