Tack Trucking has carried both of my R3s for a very reasonable price. Plus he's up in your part of the country.

I'm close to the booming metropolis of Brewerton, couple of miles west of Oneida Lake.

National Auto Shipping quoted me 479 for the same distance. I was going to use them or uship until I decided to just go get it myself.

I've been cross country four times after doing it twice I decided it was just too long of a ride and decided to ship my bike the third and fourth time from Massachusetts to Utah and Colorado. I used ROADWAY Trucking they were reasonably priced and they allowed me to prepare my bike for the ride. At the time i went to my local Harley dealer and they gave me the old shipping crates for free. At the time they were made of wood so I secured the bike on the crate and screwed it to the trailer bed. They'll give you air bags that you can secure around the bike. It's been awhile since I've shipped anything that big.Good Luck

Thanks for that info TRIIICK but the bike I'm considering is a little over 800 miles from me, so someone else would need to prep it for shipping and load'r up. He!!... the more I think about it, if I end up buying the bike I'm leaning more and more towards jumping in my truck and do a road trip and bring it back myself in a Uhaul. I'd have way more peace of mind that way. Plus I'd get to look it over and test ride. Yesterday I spoke with the seller for about 45 minutes over the phone asking a ton of questions, and shooting the bull about bikes and such. He seems like a decent and honest guy, but I'd feel better checking the bike out in person before handing over the $$.

The reason I recommend Haulbikes.com

The prep work.

The load it on a powered ramp, push your bike into a full size semi-trailer, and strap it down as is. They provide 15k in coverage automatically, and they currently have the contract with the military to move bikes, so they have constant flow of trucks moving.

There are other good companies, I just recommend shying away from very small enterprises that use uncovered hauling.
