Motorbike transport UK to France???

Guys, a friend of mine left his bike with me when he was posted to Turkey years ago.
Now back in France he's asking how much it would cost to transport it from Reading to near Paris.
Whilst I'll happily dig out my bike trailer and drive it over for him I have the feeling it will cost him less if we use a carrier.
So any suggestions gratefully received.
Also will it need to be drained and/or palletiesd?
Thanks, Pewe10

I'd suggest Shiply too.

Im guessing it would need MOTing if he left it there 2 years ago, also he would have to insure and Tax it, then claim back the remaining months of tax, etc.

Pewe, a colleague of mine comes to the UK at least every couple of weeks to bring back kit car bits and doners etc. He may have a space in his van that could be filled by your mate's bike. He's based in Reims. Drop me a U2U for his contact details. Oh and he speaks good English...
