COST TO TRAVEL THE WORLD by MOTORCYCLE (quick & dirty calculation)

Рет қаралды 285,998

Күн бұрын

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.

Congrats and thank you for the videos, they're amazing. Shiny side up, bro! *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 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 6 жыл бұрын

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 6 жыл бұрын

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

Another good one mate. I was left thinking 'so what did it add up to??" I went back and listened again and got this 6 month trip across Europe and Asia, distance of about 20,000 kms. All in Euro Per day costs add to 5100 but this low end could be higher say 5000 to 7500 Bike maintenance 500 to 1000 (choose a reliable bike!!) Visas - you said about 60 average so lets say 10 countries, say 500 to 1000 total Vaccinations say 500 Insurance..I would want a med-evac but other might not say 25 a week say 600 to 1000 for 6 months Flight (you) and freight (bike) home, say 1500 to 2500, depends where you end up Adds to 8,700 to 13,500. Roughly half fixed and half per day but you could maybe use 50c a kilometer to start with? Or 50E a day? Sounds more than $19 a day but as you say, quick and dirty, you need to start somewhere.

@@iPedroMota In my experience, travelling in Western Europe, 300 km a day, sleeping in a tent, not eating out, sums up to about €50 a day. Nearly half of that is for fuel. So being frugal in Western Europe on sleeping and eating also adds up to 10K for 6 months.

Staying in one country, like the USA, camping and not eating out can be done for much less. I'm doing 6 months on $2,500 dollars. It's all the b.s. government fees when crossing borders that steal your money.
