Here you go for #10.

Totals
Bike and Setup 3095
Testing 385
Racing 1235
Total 4715

Not a bad deal for the enjoyment of it..split between two racers.

Total so far £7750.00 not including the cost of getting to the meetings or trackdays:o
Next year should be cheaper as no bike to buy and no trailer to buy.

Bloody hell! 20k???!!! Surely that's not typical of the thunderbikes. Are you the one who had all that trouble with tuned 750 engines?

Yeh that was me ! I ended up buying a brand new K5 750 in the crate and racing that instead of the tuned SRAD. The SRAD is now sorted but what a year of fun that was....NOT ;)

Thanks for all the replies folks, going thro all the options now :)

Some of the numbers pasted on here are scarey! But i s'pose it shows that it can be as expensive/cheap as you want to make it.

I've kept a running total all season of every penny spent from buying the bike, a matching set of leathers at £500 (it had to be done!) down to the cost of the odd nut'n'bolt and packet of t-bags. All the petrol costs, testing days, entry fees, camping gear... in fact everything that I wouldn't have bought had I not been racing has been accounted for.

Total so far is £3422.28

Next season should be a fraction of that... I hope!

That must have been one cheap 620 if that cost includes testdays, leathers, tyres, all fuel etc
