Hi and welcome to the forums!
I sold my R46 R6 to fund buying my road bike which I pick up on Friday

I sold my last motorbike (a CBR 1000) when I realised my annual mileage had dropped below 1,000. Can't say I've saved much money as I seem to add a new cycle to the stable at least once a year but definitely having more fun and doing five times the mileage.
What!!!! You fill her up almost every day...blimey, that's is one inefficient motorbike. I used to get 270 miles for a £10 tank of fuel on the best of my old bikes and even the big big 1000cc used to give me 38 mpg in city riding....so probably 120-150 miles.I used to use the motorbike for all the silly trips that i could of done walking, i even used to ride it to the top of the road to fetch the paper when i could of walked it in 5 minutes, including a 8 mile ride to gfs every day and then back... id fill up atleast 5 times a week at a average of £12.98ish per fill up (i really didnt try to ride economically, it was 100mph everywhere or nothing) so that was £64.90 each week including commute, all my running around, going to gfs etc so £259.60 a month, id do a service each month, that was self done but would cost £20 a time to do. so totals up to £279.60 a month so far. X that by twelve £3355.20 and add on insurance of £450 per year fully comp - £3805.20 roughly.. then whatever it would cost when i did a long ride out for the day with friends etc so call it about £4k for the year... ive only just added all that up now... think i need a lie down!
