Respectfully, I think you are missing the point because you have not read previous posts carefully.

Even in good times, it's unlikely that anyone will find great deals shipping motorcycles on cargo aircraft. If cargo only aircraft are operating on a route, it's because there's enough cargo business to fill those aircraft at regular cargo rates. There may be the very rare backhaul route that doesn't generate much business (e.g. Anchorage to Korea), but that's rare, and the cargo forwarders generally don't go out and solicit one-off shipments such as motorcycles.

Where you will find good deals to be had is on passenger wide-body aircraft that are operating with full seats on routes that don't generate much cargo business. Vladivostok to Asian tourist destinations is a great example of this (though not in the other direction, Asia to Vladivostok). The planes are full of people & baggage, but baggage is pretty dense and doesn't occupy all the space in the belly. The plane is close to MTOW (maximum take-off weight), but has lots of cubic space available. All that space can't be sold for regular high-density cargo, though, because of payload limitations.

You need a wide-body because that's the only size of aircraft that will accept a fully assembled motorcycle in a LD6. You need full seats because that, in combination with a fairly long route, implies minimal additional payload (excess weight that can be carried) available on the aircraft. You need a route that has low demand for cargo because that implies empty space in the belly. If you have that combination, then you can offer very attractive prices to put a motorcycle inside an empty ULD that needs to be repatriated - even if empty - on that flight. To an airline, that's "money for nothing".

I've shipped my motorcycle back and forth across continents many times in the past 20 years. I've also worked in the aviation industry for 30+ years. Trust me, I know how the game works.
