Question: Having a motorcycle shipped, who do you use?
I'm ;looking at purchasing a motorcycle located over 4 hours away from me. I have no truck, trailer or a vehicle with a trailer hitch. Any good reputable way to have a bike shipped to me that will not be super expensive? I've hear horror stories about shippers stepping bikes down too hard at the bars and bending them. The shipping would be from KY to IL. Any information or leads would be appreciated.

Agree with DIY. If not, IMO -
Avoid UShip. It is a bunch of cash starved brokers. I paid to have my bike shipped enclosed. Bait and switch on cost, arrived 3 days late in the back of a beater F150 driven by a Ukrainian dude that would not speak English,
HaulBikes - A little more expensive but professional. The process may take a couple weeks and they require a pickup and delivery area for a tractor trailer.

IF not, I'd check around for friends or relatives who may have a trailer and a vehicle with a hitch.
Had some friends that shipped their bikes shipped and somewhere between Point A and Point B someone rummaged through their saddlebags and tour packs and took their tools.
I've never (and would never) ship my bike/trike.
