The freight company is called Carga. They have an office at the cargo airport in Panama and in Bogota, among others.
In Panama, the office is located at:
9° 5'10.49"N
79°22'24.89"W
When you get to the commercial airport, you'll hit a roundabout. At that point you'll the second exit as if going left (North-West). Follow that road, keeping in mind you'll want to hang a right at every major intersection you hit, and you'll end up at Carga.
Their only requirement is that you bring the bike with as little fuel as possible in the tank. The lady at that office knows her stuff, speaks some English, and is very helpfull.
In Bogota, the Carga agent i met at the airport escorted me to the custom office and did all the work for me to import the bike. Very helpfull and honest people.
It did cost me over 900$ (to be paid in cash) to ship the bike alone, one way, but to me, it was all worth it because of how easy and safe it was.
There are nice hotels near the American Ambassy in Bogota to stay at while waiting for your bike (one night).
Hope this helps!
