my cbr 1000 cost me 104 quid a year to insure and 78 quid a year tax , 60 quid in service parts every 6 months and around 220 quid every 6000 - 8000 miles for bridgestone tyres , chain and sprocket kits every few years around 140 for d.i.d , brake pads around 25 quid a set (75 quid for 3 sets 2 for front 1 for rear) , discs are around 400 quid a set of oem parts, then you got fork seals and oil etc.

gear helmet around 250 quid for a half descent one , boots with vertibrae to stop you bending you foot back if you have an accident around 120 quid £ but there worth it ) , gloves with kevlar nuckle protectors around 30 quid (again worth it ) , jacket and trousers - vary on style and material cheapest set ive seen is 120 but do go over 1000 quid also highly recommend a spine protector that velcro's to your body under your jacket .
