Chortle. You've just got to know ....
Ok. Deep breath....
Maintenance £18,878.87
Petrol £15,004.34 (45.2 mpg and £1.33/litre)
There are a few items that I've lost track of which might push that maintenance figure a couple of grand higher, it doesn't include the purchase price of £5200 second hand, and since 2006/60,000 miles, I've been doing all my own servicing.
It works out at around 30p per mile. That's pretty cheap for a fast bike. My VFR750FK was 39p/mile, ZX6-R 39p/mile, ZX9-R 37p/mile but since petrol was cheaper way back then, they are all adjusted to use current fuel prices. I did around 40k on each of those bikes.
I really ought to switch to a Honda NC700 or a KTM 690 for commuting and save a packet on petrol costs. 78 to the gallon would make a massive difference to how much fuel I buy, but the thought of plodding along on a commuter bike.. well, it's just not me.
