(and that assumes you stay in one class)
food and travel - £3k (£1k/season, and that is optimistic at only ~£120/weekend)
Trackdays, crashes, anything else -£1,500

So that is an absolute minimum, no matter who you are of £14k.... How much is an 1199?

Or, look at it another way.... Your 848 and a Class A bike will cost you pretty much an 1199 even before you start any racing this year.
