I am very close to closing out a deal for the 1998 ZX7R have been waiting so long for. I found the bike through traderonline and the owner lives in or very near Wichita, Kansas. Couple of things have come that I could use some advice on.
1. I do not know how to get this bike here. I'm sure I could get it shipped from a company that ships motorcycles but I don't know who or how much this is going to cost. Wicjita is about 12-13 hours from BR and I am also considering either going to pick it up, having him trailer it here, or meeting somewhere in between. I know I will need a truck or a Uhaul if I do this but is this a smart way to do it and what kind of tie-downs will I need? What should I do?
2. If I do not meet him or deal directly with him, I am assuming I should use an online Escrow service to protect myself. Is this the best way to go or is there another option here?
3. How do I deal with the Title transfer?
Thanks.
