Hi guys,

First time in this sub-section so if these questions have already been answered i apologise, just point me in the right direction.

I've always fancied riding but premium brand cars amongst other things have always been priority. Getting to the stage now where i'll have the means and space to do both.

So, I'm wondering what the typical annual outlay is for casual bike ownership - maintenance, consumables, insurance, petrol and so on?

By casual i mean, a spirited trip or two every month, a lot more in the summer obviously - i dont think i could quite get away with commuting due to keeping up appearances but i wouldnt say no for the cost save over running an exec saloon!

I'm sure many of you are in a similar situation.

Cheers!
