I might add to the cost: 1) Bribes at borders 2) Replacement parts bike contingency if/when the machine is dropped 3) Some medical contingency money which might not be immediately covered by travel insurance 4) Emergency cash reserve that can be transferred to a local bank/courier (Amex is good for this) Excellent video btw

Thanks for this. Traveling the world has been one of my dreams. And by motorcycle?! A dream come true.

I flew with my bike on the same plane from Heathrow to Montreal via Air Canada for £1200 (me and bike) in 2015. If you take normal sea freight at £650-£700 +£150 hidden charges plus say £350 economy to USA it comes to the same. If you are a shipping virgin DO NOT be fooled by advertised shipping prices. If you add the extra travelling costs by taxi to remote ports and all over the town and back to Customs and hours of paperwork then add Port Charges, blah, blah, blah, it all adds up. And what happens if the ship does not unload for a day or even a week? More hotel charges! (been there got that T shirt). BTW don't forget the cost of renting a van and dropping it off at Southampton or Liverpool too! In contrast, flying with your bike via Air Canada you are literally riding your bike within 1 hour of landing as they do not strip them down and you are allowed 1/4 tank of fuel. USA Customs take 3 hours and body search you coming into the office for weapons and treat you like a terrorist. Canadian Customs take 3 minutes with a cheery smile. No competition! Next day ride over the USA border and don't mention your British bike, they won't ask. They don't care about drive-overs anyway, only shipped vehicles. Get an EPA certificate (Emissions exemption) online at least a month ahead though in case the Police ask for it.

Great vid. You’ve done it all: how to plan; worked the plan; measured your results; and continuously improved. Many will balk at the cost, but putting away funds for such a trip is a good practice to learn. Saving pays off in many ways, a trip, that guitar, retirement. Don’t give up on the dream, start paying it off now. Great job!

Great info Bruce, that figure you came up is in the ball park of my calculation, roughly about what it cost me to live at home for a similar period. I work as a motorcycle courier and do around 50,000 Klms a year down here in the colony of OZ using a DR650 and it cost me between 6.5-7 thousand dollars a year to keep the bike on the road and as you know OZ is not a cheap place to live and may I add I am Scottish by birth and suffer from the old syndrome of short arms and deep pockets. I am a new subscriber and enjoying the channel very much, loved the around the world vid's a lot, loved the tour around Scotland series also, finally after 45 years of living in OZ I got to do a trip back to the old country and did that loop in reverse on a Bike 4 1/2 years ago and loved every bit of it. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍 Always love it when a Scot talks in the "posh" accent so the heathens understand them. 😂😂😂

Brilliant vid - straight talking. I recently failed completely during a trip to France. My riding buddy (who is no longer a buddy of any type!) tried to do everything on the cheap and it ended up being more expensive!!! Penny wise, pound foolish as my old man used to say. Anyway, the figure you gave was a bit less than I thought it would be - I reckoned on 30K, but that was just a wild guess. I have no intention to ride around the world in one hit but wish to try getting as far as I can overland without any eye watering shipping costs. I am going to try Spain next year and will probably go East in 2020 but you have given me great food for thought - thanks again!

It's quite more than I would've guessed! Thanks for this! I'm planning to do an around the Americas Trip in 2020 (fingers crossed) and found this very informative! A few notes to add though: Maybe mention the border and passport thing? you sound UKish so that's an European passport which is like, one of the best passports for traveling, but people like me (Venezuelan) have to do a lot of research about Visas and stuff for this kind of traveling. I know it was probably not so hard for you (or maybe very hard and you just want to forget about that chapter of your life and if so Sorry for making you remember the horrors of bureocracy) but for people like me who don't have golden passports it's quite hard to travel overseas and to other countries so maybe mention stuff related to that? Also this is the first of your vids I've watched and I plan to watch all of them so, If you have mentioned this kinda stuff before just disregard the whole comment after "very informative!" and live even happier! PS: your beard is awesome PPS: what bike do you recommend for this kinda travel? I say you used a sport bike while I have my eyes set on a cruiser. Cheers!
