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

Can you add a link to the mapping app you use for travel. I like using Google maps but that's all I have ever used it would nice to ha e a mapping/GPS app that's more accurate with its roads.
5:56 if you want to skip ahead to the costs.

Just came back from Trans American trail. ~9000miles, one month, 1300$ plus after trip maintenance (500-600$). Did it all in 30days. 4 motels, 3 campsites, 23 camp nights
I've started my ride with 20€ in my pocket. Now I even have a smartphone to watch this video! Believe in yourself!

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.

Little by little, your videos are changing my mentality in some positive way. Thank you! Keep up the great "work" you do!
I’ve watched your videos before but this one made me subscribe. Thank you for such a well thought-out explanation and an honest video about costs of motorcycle long travel. Great point about the cost of taking an expensive bike to some parts of the world. Keep the coming. 👍
Nice video! Great overview and the info all makes sense.
Man, he already became my favorite motorcycle traveler. I love it
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.
Keep going bro! Very quick and dirty, looking forward for your next costing video!
Nice video! After years backpacking the world, im just starting planning my first motorcycle trip and had no idea where to start, your video is very helpful!
Hi Pedro! Very good video! I am very interested in investigating these aspects of the journey, especially the bureaucratic part. Thank you!

You’re talking on cost to travel was astounding.Now I don’t what to go far,thanks a lot. But good for you and good information it’s helpful always,thank you for your venue
You should make a video depending on the continent, so you can be more specific with the details, costs and experience, thank you so much for your videos.
Good intro and tips thanks, done some short trips, planning something bigger.
The continued inspiration is soooooooo appreciated!!!

I'm subscribing just because you are FN AWESOME. You're ALIVE. How old are you? Most of us are not living, we breathe, we eat, we move, but we are not ALIVE. Not like you are. 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!
Great stuff man... So many variables its tuff to get a pin point number.. But this video provides a great baseline.. Would love to see you do a video on creating a off road route using bing maps. This is for sure something I'm not familiar with.. but love riding off road in my travels.

Thanks for valuable information you shared. I was planning to ride to Mongolia with friends which postponed by pandemic. Sooner or later we do it!
So... I was thinking, when the time comes, to buy a Transalp and head on south to morroco, meating the atlas brap brap on to the ferry to italy, up to the Alps and back west to Portugal. Then I ran tru this vid, I'll just say thank you for strength and feeling you put in it so others can get the guts to actually go ahead and do a journey. Will take some time, but it will happen eventually. All the best on your Ride! Boas Curvas!
Fascinating. Full of extremely useful info.

Really cool. Would be nice to see a more detailed video about the trip from EU to The East. :)
Thanks for the useful tips, great video young man.💪 Well now i know what am gonna face in the future, gonna be taxing, yup!😌😌😌
thanks for this video Pedro
I remember talking with a guy who did the world tour. As you say, numbers vary a lot depending on the assumptions. We got EUR 20-30K per year. Just adding our view here :-) thanks for sharing Pedro
Brilliant Pedro, Been away myself so only just watched the last three, all were extremely helpful for the motorcycle traveller. Can I just chip in and say I was shocked at the water costs; I use a Steripen and more recently a Grayl... melted snow the other week for a brew :-) Ride safe

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.

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
Great video thanks! Any video on tips for financing long term travel?
Nice Transalp .. Green ones are the best :D .. I had two of them
...and this is how you talk without using "you guys" in every other sentence as the form of "you." Great job!
Some really useful info there,cheers
Good video. Came across your channel quite by chance. I like style of presentation. Pretty zany and interactive. How about fuel stops in the most remote places. How did you manage not running out of fuel.
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.

Go Android, I use it for video editing too even on my smartphone. Lyndon Poskitt from Adventurespec uses a Sony RX100 camera and Gopro for his round the world trip. For Navigation try Android Locus Map, we had cyclist from France travel to visit us in Taiwan using Locus Map and Goggle Map, try it too long to explain using Locus Map. Keep Riding Bro..Cheers

Real interesting quick and dirty calculations. Great video. World trip may be something I do in the future, but I am content to do trans-European city-to-city jaunts. Makes sense to buy a cheaper, reliable, smaller cc bike for the real long trips. So many GS textile warriors around Europe sipping cafe lattes :)

hey bro, I'm constantly coming back to this video. huge help man. was thinking while you're home in the netherlands maybe it would be a good time to go into some details. I'm scouring horizonsunlimted for as much as I possibly can but as I'm sure we both know it can be difficult. some things I find myself looking for are things like -where is best to get a carnet -what options are there for insuring the motorbike -what were some unexpected costs you ran into on your route through eu-asia landmass (as your route is pretty common and looks similar to mine) -recomendations for intercontinental freight and/or which mistakes to avoid -which vaccines you required -on your route which countries did you find cheap and expensive I'm gonna come back here and add other stuff I'm thinking of myself and I hope that helps. I mean shit it would be super difficult or impossible to create a frame from everyone to work from but if you do step by step continent by continent videos of what you experienced, I'm sure you'd get some good hits! thanks again for the sick videos bro

"It's complicated". Maybe a better answer is: how much do you have, now make it last.
Water filters such as a Sawyer filter is cheap and small to carry with you for water.
