I'll answer my own post to give my experience of shipping from UK to southern Central America.
To San Jose, Costs Rica I got a quote equivalent to US$2050 from Motofreight in London. There was also an estimate of US$1250 from their CR agent for clearance is total cost US$3300. I was also warned that clearance would take 2-3 days and require my attendence for at least some of the process.
At the same time Motofreight quoted $3025 to Panama with their agent there quoting $200 and near instant clearance.
Since the total cost for both was near identical I chose the Panama option and flew the bike in at the end of February. It went very smoothly. Bike arrived safely as promised and clearance took 2 hours from start to finish.
I've added all this in the shipping database for anyone who needs a bit more detail.
