There is this mob, but the price would be astronomical.

One way rental on a car trailer, or drag one all the way empty. Use something decent to tow though as it will be a long trip! I wouldn’t leave it on the rotisserie though. Get some old tyres and lower it onto them, strapping the rotisserie ends on separately.
What is the body?

It's a great drive. This trailer looks like good value at $7,590.  This mob (Coastmac) also have Chinese trailers, but if you bought one you would change the wheel bearings before the trip.

I'm purchasing a motorcycle from Tamworth NSW at the moment. I would normally drive over from SA and pick it up BUT with what is happening at the moment with closed borders...I can get into NSW alright but the problem is returning back into SA. On return I have to isolate for 14 days. In the process of organising road freight transport.

The other issue is I can't test ride the bike so I have to rely on photos, video of the bike running etc ...so there is a sight risk in what i'm doing.
