Motorcycle Trip - How to Travel Cheap? - 10 Proven Tips!

The Essential Guide to Any Motorcycle Traveler - Online Course: rtw-adventures.com/online-cou...
Top 10 Tips to make it as cheap as possible!
Hello riders from around the world, I hope that you are well! Many of you asked me how I can afford to travel so much with my motorcycle? In this video I will give you 10 tips to make it as cheap as possible.
As usual, many people include some experience riders will advice you that it’s expensive hobby and you need to be rich man to afford it. As you know I never fully agree with anything before I really test it. The price if the trip depends from the destination and from your personal preferences.
Let’s go straight to the tips:
N: 1 - Buy affordable motorcycle.
I said affordable, not exactly cheap, because I still believe that the truth is somewhere between the words top expensive and super cheap. Ok, but someone might say:
“The topic is how to travel cheap, the price of the motorcycle itself it doesn’t matter!”
Sounds like not exactly on the place, but let me explain to you with more details:
- When you have expensive bike you will definitely expensive gear. For example: hard cases, tank bag, windscreen, better seat, tires, spare parts and many more. For new models all of that stuff is overpriced.
- The maintenance of that bike will be double price, because in many cases you will need a proper garage to do it and they charge about 100$ per hour.
- Most of the new and expensive motorcycle use only premium petrol, which usually about 10% expensive.
- From the security point of view in many places around the world you will need garage or paid parking. You cannot just leave it on the street even if you have disc lock or chain.
- Because of the fancy bike you have many of the prices will be higher for you. You will looks like bored millionaire and you cannot blame the people that they will want a piece of you.
On the other hand when you have just a normal looking motorcycle the people will know that you are adventurer and will automatically change their mind. You might disagree with this statement, but it doesn’t matter this is the simple human behaviour.
N: 2 - If you want to travel cheap you will need a tent.
It will be your mobile tent and could save you hundreds of dollars.
N: 3 - Travel as light as possible.
I said this many times, but I will say it again - The weight is always matter!
N: 4 - Reduce the speed.
I don’t have to tell you that when you ride fast your motorcycle consume more petrol. Fast speed also eats the tires much faster than you can even imagine. Again it is not much, but when you add it to the first few points it become a noticeable price.
N: 5 - Buy the food from supermarkets.
Is really depends from your budget, but f you want to do it as cheaper as possible this will help you a lot. The prices in the restaurants and the shops are usually very different
N: 6 - Use hostels instead of hotels.
Even in the hostels you can have a private room, if this is what you looking for, but over there you will be able to cook your food and this will reduce the price significantly
N: 7 - Always stop riding before sunset.
This will help you to have enough time to find a proper place to sleep. In the middle of the night, after all day riding, you will be happy to pay any price just to have bed to sleep. I am talking from my own experience.
N: 8 - Plan a head.
The logistic is something very important. Plan everything ahead. I really respect the people who travel without any preparations, but I prefer to be ready. By doing your route in advance you can minimize the km and time you need to spend on the road.
N: 9 - Prepare the bike before the trip.
Do everything before the trip. Change the tires, oils, filters, bearings, cables, basically you have to change everything what is possible to fail during the trip.
N: 10 - Think out of the box.
Be creative and try to find new solutions for every possible problem you might need to face. Remember: The bike is just a tool, the travel is what really matters!
Many of you asked me: what gear I use and where they can find it? I have created this Amazon shop to make it easy for you.

    Basic rule about tents from a German perspective. If you ride north,west or south, take a tent with you. If you travel east, leave the tents at home, because you can usually find hotel for 15-20€s a night. When campgrounds are 6-10€s, even in Poland and cheap hotels are 15-25€s, the price difference is just negligible. In contrast if you are in France in the summer and hotels cost 70-120€s, a campground for 10€s is a much more sensible option if you don´t have unlimited money

Truth be known I’d love a better bike but I feel it’s a good option. I have spent a few £’s on it, but I’ll sell all the none standard stuff when I return. I think your videos are absolutely brilliant, which I feel are fair and true. You seem to give advice that’s for all not just the BMW loads of money brigade. Thanks

    I love these advice videos -- I'll watch them all no matter how much you repeat some of the advice from previous videos - there's always good nuggets in there. I like the advice here about tires - on my recent trip to Death Valley California ~2300 miles - I didn't check my tire pressure until about half way and my rear tire is now severely cupped (!) -- what a dumb mistake. Also, I learned from the trip that taking hard bags onto gravel roads is a no-no -- if you fall (like I did, at a low speed) they can break easily, for example the latch!. thankfully I brought a full role of duck tape. Speaking about long trips and off road - would love to hear more advice and stories about riding off-pavement on this channel - not extreme riding - just gravel, sand, forest roads and what experience you had and how you prepared for the next off-road adventure. cheers!

    Really usefull tips, Pavlin. And something to consider is the fact that being about 15€ the price of some campings, 30€ the price of some hotels/hostels, and about 100€ the minimum camping equipment...you can sleep very comfortable in hostels/hotels and without carryin a lot of camping luggaje a lot of days with the same money. And I assure you that trying to mount a tent in the rain is a really upsetting thing. I discovered ferrys and are a great way to reach places for cheap. You save a lot of time, petrol, food and bed. Remember always to take some food to the ferry. Food can ve really expensive there! Keep on the good work, Pavlin!

    If you can avoid toll roads do so. Not much adventure or interest to be found on them. As well as the money saving. Eat in non tourist areas in cities, not where the rest of tourists do. Buy half pints not full pints of beer, but make sure you have a well deserved one at the end of the day. Happy travels

    I love your views. I have a 220cc motorcycle but it is very reliable. The spare parts are quite rare but I do know somebody who sells them, so I buy all spare parts and store them at home. Also, I agree with planning ahead. I planned my first ever long ride (12-hour ride) for 4 months. I got my bike and myself ready for it.

    I like most of your videos, I agree on most of what you say, although I already knew it all due to my long trips lived experience on the roads alone since I was 20 years old. I admire the fact that you're honest and that you like to share your road riding experience and whatever it may concern but especially the down to earth humor that comes with it, you remind me a good old friend of mine from Bulgaria whose name is Niko, I wonder where the heck he is right now.. On the other hand, I can't say the same for your motorcycles reviews though, since saying..It's great and nice doesn't do justice to the in depth technical aspect of a Motorcycle.. I have been riding any sorts of motorcycles ( I mean any sort of motorcycles ! ) And scooters as from the age of 14 regardless of the weather. Unfortunately, I can't share any of it since I seem to be destined to ride always alone, I must emphasize that I don't like to ride with a group of bikers ..I'm fine to travel alone also because if you wait for others to join you, you may hardly ever reach your goals in life. Don't think about it too much, just do it! Get out there and discover your inner self immersed in the nature and the elements, everything is alive and interconnected so whenever you feel scared, stop the bike and become acquainted with the surrounding nature and even talk to it and to yourself, sleep outdoors get that courage back and carry on son ! As an endurance solo rider, yes ' Solo ' rider because it's also difficult to find a good mate to ride with due to the time and the money that a long motorcycle trip involves, depending on your destination naturally. I would strongly suggest to keep yourself light, fit and fast ( My cruising speed has always been within the region of 140 to 160 kph where allowed as it can get boring at much lower speed especially on your own) If you're on a budget, avoid motorways ( if you can..) Avoid expensive ferries, I personally don't see the need to go to any European northern rainy and depressing countries, apart from this stop by a local market instead of a wasting your time and money in a Supermarket.. Hence, try no to eat too much and especially no dead meats of any kinds which will only harm your body, no salty foods and definitely no sugary drinks, like fruit juices or whatever drink that may contain excessive sugar or salt, eat real fruits instead and bring along with you any kind of nuts and dried fruits, no alcohol and NO DRUGS ever ! Most importantly, get to know your motorcycle, learn how to fix it yourself, learn to speak at least 3 or more languages including English naturally ! Learn to do minor repairs at least as far as the exterior of the bike is concerned, like replacing the oil, filter and or repairing a flat tire or else then be a good observant, be vigilant and always alert..! Take your due rest time and do it all over again tomorrow :) I hope I can be out there again soon, in the meantime, I can only wish you guys happy trails !

    Overthinking and overplanning the trip is also a bad idea - you can't predict everything that may happen along the way both bad (breakages, road closures, health issues) and good (finding about something awesome to see, getting hosted by a very nice people that you want to hang around more etc). I did this mistake once on my first trip that I overplanned, booked all hotels/motels in advance had everything written down to the last mile. Then all it took was a single day of stomach issues and my plan was ruined. Instead of planning I would suggest RESEARCHING - read about the place you are going to, what's nice to see there, what should be avoided, etc this way you will be more prepared for changes. Also, I would suggest asking around for CONTACTS - knowing some people in the place you are going to can be priceless and can help you solve a lot of issues. Ride safe!

    Pavlin, I have been thinking of you wanting to replace your motor, If your current motor has no problems but has a lot of milage, just keep riding it and monitor the oil quality, you can send a sample of the oil away and get it tested for any engine issues, if the gearbox is changing OK then why replace the motor? Buy a good 2nd hand one and keep it as a spare at home, if you need it on a trip get one of your mates to ship it to you, then change it. There tenere motor is over engineered and under powered for a 660, thus it should last much linger than 130,000km, I have seen the way you ride, and you never rev the engine hard. Just to remember to check the hub drive sprocket bearings as they get a hard time, and change the oil and filters more often than the 10,000km service interval. With the fuel injection buy a new injector or get the old one cleaned, EFI systems are very reliable now days. Check your throttle cables too see if they are still in good condition.

    I love long trips, expensive bikes are out of my reach, yet I found long motorcycle trips affordable. First contact with different people around the world, different cultures and beautiful views that you can enjoy are far more better than airplane trips. Bike can go where cars cannot so that is a bonus as well. Bike do not have to be new or expensive, it must be luxury for the rider and in great (sound) mechanical condition of the bike. I am running old Yamaha XJ600S Diversion and I am happy with this bike. It is modified to suit my needs but is also reliable, cheap and easy to maintain.

    You are right. In one moment I wondered what is the sense to travel buying food in supermarkets instead eating local food what is also very important attraction. On the other side when you do not have money it is always better to buy food in supermarket and travel than to stay at home due to lack of money for trip. And this is movie "How to travel cheap", not "How to fully enjoy the trip".

    I have already chosen a motorcycle. Yamaha xt660z. This is the only off-road motorcycle that comfortable for my height. The others are very expensive or small. Comfort is also very important. With a height of 190 cm, I will look ridiculous, my back and legs will hurt on a small motorcycle. Therefore, the price is not important for tall people, tall people have little choice.

    Can I add a few tips? :) 1. Cheap motorcycle = cheap maintenance, 1200 BMW and VersysX 300 are both adventure, both capable of traveling all day long, but the VersysX 300 will cost you 1/4th in everything of that of the 1200 BMW. (and yes its just as fun). 2. Being an adventure rider is all about the adventure, if you are too scared of adventure, don't do it then, get a cheap flight and a nice hotel instead. Going on a motorcycle tour is not for everyone, in fact most people wont enjoy it at all, ask yourself: Can you eat cold canned food? Can you drink hot water during a hot day? Can you sleep in an unknown and scary area like dark forests? Can you survive for 20 or 30 days without a shower? Can you survive wearing the same underwear for 2 weeks? If its all about YES, then you can enjoy the adventurer life, if not, every "NO" on the least = more money! 3. Before adventuring to an unknow country or cross continents, do some adventuring in YOUR country, you will be amazed how many places you never knew about just because there is no asphalt road leading to them and there is no hotel next to them. Sleep under the clear sky, eat whatever there is in your backpack, and mostly just enjoy the ride, do that for a week or so, my guess that after a week you will know if that is for you or not, and some other cool things, like that your motorcycle seat is the destroyer of butts, the nemesis of the spine, the angle of death himself have fun :D

    Planned to travel by my bike to Hungary. Even I was born in Germany and live in Romania as a Turkish citizen heard that need visa for Schengen countries. So I went to Hungary embassy. Impossible that I can get visa. They asked for all countries that I will travel real hotel reservation and last 3 months salary transaction bank account. I don't have those because I quit job. So the biggest issue is unfortunately visa. Thank you for all your cool advises. I wish one day we will meet somewhere on the road Pavel.
