Hi Larry:
This is correct, because AC uses narrowbodies (A320s) for their services to Cuba.
To ship a motorcycle on an aircraft, you need to have a widebody (L-1011, MD-11, B-767, A-330 or 340, etc.) because the moto gets put into a fairly large container, and the container then gets loaded into the underfloor area. The narrowbodies can't accept a container large enough to hold a fully assembled motorcycle.
The real question that needs to be answered is how the heck you are going to get the moto out of Frobisher Bay...
