Any information on shopping a bike from the UK to Dallas?

Hi everybody, noob here.....as title says can anybody give me information on shipping a bike (most likely a 125cc) from the UK to Dallas in spring of 2021?

Thanks in advance.

Airlines that offer motorcycle shipping by air freight typically charge a flat fee for a motorcycle, generally around USD $1,500 for Europe to North America.

That might be a bit much for a 150 CC motorcycle.

Have you investigated calling a moving company ("removals company", in British English) to see if they could move it as household goods?

A more practical alternative might just be to buy a 150 cc bike in America, at your destination. I say this because the cost of round-trip shipping will probably exceed the price of a new 150 cc bike.

That is some good advice for the O/P. In the US/Canada you can fairly easily buy something like a Ninja 250, CB300, XT225, etc in good mechanical order for maybe $2000-$2500 US. That might be the easier way to go, and then of course at the end of the trip, you can sell the bike for close to what you paid for it if it's still in good shape.
