If the train situation as Euphonius described is unfortunately not available to you for whatever TIC reason, then I can recommend Deppon. They are professional in their attitude, and even though you have been told 6 days lead time, since you've likely been quoted the longer/delayed delivery method to get the price down, as opposed to the more expensive option which cuts delivery time in half. I had a bike transported 1600km via Deppon, paid the lesser of the two option to save $$$ and ETA was quoted as 5-6 days. Bike arrived 36 hours after dropping off at Deppon. Bike actually beat me back by several days. So while lead time might be 6 days, it likely will be less.

Probably way too late to make any suggestion, but here goes.
I needed to ship a GW250 from Beijing to Dalian, so I asked a GW dealer. Quick answer - no problem, we'll use a new bike crate and a shipper we use often. Two days, and a reasonable price.

Hi
I find it strange all you guys ship your bikes when why not just ride them??? you say you are going from Beijing to Dalian ... i just come back Badalingzan the great wall to Longkou we took the expressways all the way to Longkou and even got flag throu by the police when we come to the Toll Booth when we come into shandong provinces took 8 hours was a nice ride and Yantai is only 1 hour more pass Longkou then take the boat over to Dalian . All the fun of having a bike is riding it not just around the area you wish to vist but to and from yes i can understand if you wish to ride around North Beijing and you live in SH yes ship it then but Beijing to Dalian come on Lao have some fun and ride it an a nice boat trip... well whatever you do have a nice trip and be safe

Dude, that's 3000km one-way - a bit too much for a 20 days holiday in my opinion, especially if you just reach the place you actually intend to see the time you have to go back.
To be sure I took the bike to the trainstation these days, I found the Tuo Yun Xing Li easily. The staff there was very nice and attentive, but said I couldn't be done. For an electric bike they would be able to make it happen, but not for something as big as my Suzuki. After showing them the picture of Euphonious' Jialing at the Shanghai station they admitted it might be possible somewhere else, but not in Tianjin.
Unfortunately we do not have a motorcycle dealer neither. TIT - This is Tianjin.
I also contacted A Shuai to check how much a rental would be, just in case. The cheapest would be a domestic 250cc for 6000 CNY for the duration of our stay (up to a big BMW Enduro for 32000 CNY) + minimum 40000 CNY cash deposit.
So I will go with Deppon. They are just around the corner, make indeed a good and professional impression and the service involved seems ok.
Just a couple of days left, and we are really looking forward!
Thanks for everyones suggestions.

09-11-2013, 04:18 AMDude, this is China. Never trust anything anyone says on the phone. No one at a government agency has any incentive whatsoever to help you out, so the default is always 没办法.
If there's a direct T or K train to Kunming from Tianjin, they should be able to take it. But you have to be there, in their face, not by phone. They have freight schedules at the checked luggage counter that are official. The official weight limit is 200kg, though the Jialings we ship are sometimes a few kg over that. No box or crate. You have to be prepared to have someone roll it into the station, and trust that they'll handle it well. Buy insurance.
good luck.

I agree with you Euphonius, so that's what I did. (see my post above)
Still, they said it can't be done. 没办法.
Maybe the other way round, we'll see.
