Are there places that will like, ship your motorcycle to a local dealer or have someone ride it down for you or something?

I was thinking that only being able to search within a 100-200 mile radius of where you are is pretty damn limiting. You could go further and take a road trip, sure, but I'm not gonna take a road trip from Texas to, say...New York when I have classes on Monday.

Are there services that would ship it that long of a distance? And would it cost an arm and a leg?

there are shipping companies that can transport the bike for you.
by the looks of your question your looking at ebay bikes. If you check out the shipping details for many of them you will find a link to get shipping quote.

I would avoid shipping if possible because i had my bike shipped and it was damaged

Crating and freight would run $800.00 or more, which usually negates the savings from buying on eBay in the first place. Furthermore, I'd never buy a bike without seeing it in person. Cameras these days are nice, but not THAT nice.

How 'bout renting a bike in the area you'd like to tour in?
