Tecate?
I've only crossed at Tecate, but it was great, especially as you get a great ride down from La Mesa (San Diego) on Hwy 94 then down to Ensenada. You can get insurance at the small mall just before you leave the US to cross over the border and you get to go through the vineyards in the Guadalupe Valley. Have a look at Vinos L A Cetto.com
After Ensenada, you can do Mex 1 all the way south or kick on over to San Felipe....
The Ferry is quoted from LaPaz to Mazatlan at 1665pesos for a motorcycle and 1200Pesos per adults passenger. Here's the website... Baja Ferries
On the website the rate shown uses the $ format but that may indicate pesos.
Current exchange is about $1 for 12 Mexican pesos - so the motorcycle would be about $138 US - doesn't really seem that expensive.....expecialy after factoring in gas/accommodation etc. for the alternate route.
Make sure you surf through Baja Expo for lots of info
