Default RE: how much do you spend a year on your bike?

depends on what we're including as maintenance and does racing count?
I'm sure I'm up to at least $7k in tires alone, probably 20+ oil/filter changes, $2,000 for GMD work, $1,000+ for suspension rebuilds/setup tweeking, $1,500 crash repairs, some of ya'll will love this one - I've destroyed 5 helmets this year lol, then there is fuel (race gas ain't cheap) and travel expenses, etc.I imagine I've spent at least $25,000 this year for racing (not including the bike since i"m gonna sell it)
before anybody says anything, I've been living with my parents this year and working from home with no debts/payments on anything so I've had basically no other expenses this year

if racing doesn't count, I've put one set of tires and changed the oil on my street bike once (only put 2,000 miles on it lol) so around $350.

lmao...... I was just saying it must be nice. I wish I could go back and do the same. My numbers for the year would probably be the same. Unfortunately with a house, multiple vehicles and a business I dont get to have that kind of fun anymore.

ahh yeah, I'm definitely lucky. I wouldn't have been able to do this without their support. My dad came to most of my races to help me out, and actually did a lot of the driving.

I bought the Honda gold card for 862.00. It covers all my service for the next 3 years. Other than that I've put $80 for the windshield, 20.00 for the tank pad, 300.00 for the exhaust, $60.00 for the frame sliders, $90 for the LED kit for the underglow... $20 for the resivoir cap and 54.00 for the hotbodies flushmounts

Well I have a wife and two kids so everything has to be planned in advance. Generally I try to keep 500 out of tax return and have a good idea what I want this year. Other than that just gas and ride.

I said $250-$500, kinda hard to put a number on it for me because I put a lot more money into my bikes last year...like around $2000. This year, I've stuck with the essentials and kept my F3 in the garage. If I had more cash…I’d spend it! LOL My F4i is streetfightered out for one main reason, plastic is expensive and I’m cheap. Simple as that. I’m budgeted to around the $500 range so next year will be interesting, tires are due and I’d like to rebuild the front end of my F3 this winter.
