  • How much does it cost to travel the world by motorcycle? In this video I give an overview of the main costs to consider when planning a long motorcycle trip.These costs can be divided into daily costs, non-daily costs and long term costs. We'll start out with the relatively easier to calculate daily costs and move toward more harder to predict costs. The goal is to give you an quick and easy calculation that will depend a lot on your circumstances and travel style.

      I think you could get your fill of this, by traveling one country at a time, so you don't have to deal with all that transferring & registering the bike between borders! Start with a 2-week motorbike tour of one country. You can get a better price if you rent a motorcycle for two weeks & if it breaks down, you simply switch it out for another rental. This idea of going across multiple borders is romantic but unrealistic.

    *your estimates are pretty reasonable. Thing is, when a man(or woman) is adventurous enough to try this, they probably won't have that 10k laying around to do this. Plus cost of bike. I'd guess 25k or more to do this. Total. I think people should become extremely comfortable with their machine. Learn how to service it and learn how to troubleshoot. Being mechanically/electrically inclined is always a good thing!

    Nice one Pedro, the last couple of years I've been touring Europe kipping beside the bike, either on the ground, or, in a hammock. When you ride until late in the evening, pitch and get up at dawn, you're never disturbed. Got by with motorway truck stops for showering when rivers/sea weren't available.

    Nice video, thanks! It all depends on what you are leaving. If you have zero costs in your home country (like a house loan or something) it is not that difficult (financially) to make a bike trip. My wife and I drove 31000km through Europe and Central-Asia at a cost of 38 euro's a day, all included for both of us and the bike. (from food, to toothpaste, fuel, tires and nights...) It could have been even cheaper if we would have cared more.

    • @iPedroMota
      @iPedroMota  6 років тому

      Usually water is 1 or 2 aud a pop, but in roadhouse country prices skyrocket so you get $5 water. Would too like to get something to purify water with at some point.

    • @potskifilms
      @potskifilms 6 років тому +2

      I'm not always certain the bottled water bought is good. I think the Grayl has been our favourite; the Steripen needs batteries and imo has been a bit fickle. We even use the Grayl on our Iceland trips to take out particles in suspension, as it's not just bacteria etc in the water that can get you. It's a water container too. Ride safe

      I got issues after my first ride to Istanbul and back years ago and replaced it with an aftermarket one. They are pretty affordable nowadays. Get one as spare for long rides, glad that I did. Blew one in West Australia when the battery fried after the broken regulator boiled it. Lovely chain of events that was.
