An excel spreadsheet detailing my costs and some more insight as to what the money was spent on and how the bike was set up can be found here - http://kapitalmoto.co.uk/node/101

Given my initial results you may not wish to follow my set up preparation proceedure to the letter! Then again, I'm sure that the bike is fine and that the rider needs further enhancements.

It depends on how good you want the bike to be, it needs to be above all things safe & reliable & kept that way all sesson, imho I don't think you could do 620 classA competivley for less than £3-£4k

My bike cost about £5k all in, but a large chunk of that was the 6-speed 'box + fitting. This season won't see much change from £5k, and a fair amount more from lost earnings for track days etc....

In my whole life I'd reckon on spending approx £4.5m ( ). £20k for three seasons racing? How cheap???

iv just added up everything iv spent on racing this year and it comes in under £4500 but like i say

i did buget £2000 on getting a bike and sorting it spent so far £1800 inc tyres, fairing bike cost £1000 off ebay

bugeted £1500 on race fees and licence and should come to about this at the end of the season that fuel in my car entry fees and fuel for the bike

so like i say im sure can do it for £3000

also put £1000 to one side for crashes and trackdays and so far crashed twice cost of £200 and 3 trackdays £380 and assen at £250 ferry fuel race fees split it with frend that came with me

cost of my car and triler and insurance was covered by the sale of my road bike

buget for next year stands at £2500 for all race fees, licence, transport, few trackdays and assen (i hope) as im back at university

Reckon i've spent about £1k this year on both bikes ( including prepping Dessie from a road to race bike) Oh and including Assen

Graeme got a 10th with Dessie in only his 3rd meeting - worth the pennies I think.
