I used a place for a pushbike a while back and they specialise in engines and wheels etc.

I used the post office, and it cost me about £25. I went in with a box of engine, and that was that.

Engine in question was a mito 125.

Im not sure if they have a maximum weight but i've used https://www.senditnow.com/ a few times and i've never had any problems. The price doesnt seem to change if you increase the weight and they dont ask for the size of the item.

it may be cheaper to strap them to a pallet, I sold a few car engines and axles and they all went quite cheaply on a pallet but I can't remember what firm it was now.
2 cbr engines are going to weigh a fair bit I should think.
