Just to prevent any misunderstandings, it was possible to obtain a permit for motorbike to cross Sinai as of April 2016... "Furious" (see his post on this page) was one of three riders who has managed it recently.
So, don't rule out riding across Sinai... just need to figure out how to apply for the permit (success not guaranteed of course).
Like Martin, I used cfsegypt.com to ship my bike from Alexandria to Athens late Marc 2016 and was happy with a relatively smooth if expensive process.
