container truck in the services of a private courier company is the best way. they'll come to your place and pick up the vehicle, and drop it at the other place too. make sure they pack the scooter in front of you. (just for added self assurance, even otherwise they do a fine job).
sending it by train is a big risk. they pack it with lousy sacks, without any padding. inevitably the lights and mirrors will be broken as the handlers usually throw more stuff onto the vehicle.
also u might wanna check with the local RTO for the NOC. (only if the vehicle has registration of previous state, and is going into another state)

Take the scooter with you in Train when you travel, book it as luggage. Just pad the scooter with some hey and sack, it will be done by the coolies in the train station for a payment, load the scooter in the train in goods carriage of the train you are alighting. Get down in Coimbatore, collect the scooter with you.
This will cost you very little. Fee will be like 1.5 times or so of your travel ticket.
Cochin to Coimbatore is not too far, you can ride it also.

regarding @OP : you can ask tourist carriers to coimbatore(subha,no.1 etc starts from MG road -Ensign,grand hotel etc) to carry it .another options is rail- ask porters to pack the bike and load into train(if you are travelling along with).

The roads're pretty decent except near Kuthiran. Loads of irregularities such as deep cavities. 2 wheelers've got to be very careful esp. during these monsoons. I've seen car axles getting conked on the middle of the roads in these areas!
And yeah on a scooter, riding over 220km is not a joke!
As mano's rightly pointed it out, trains work out the cheapest.
