Indirect costs for the use of a motorcycle, and the cost of renting a motorcycle.

Calculation accuracy +/- 12%



Calculation for a 2020 BMW R1200GS K51 motorcycle, demo version, 10,000 km start mileage, purchase from a showroom, 5-year use

Purchase price with trunks PLN 80,000 gross

1. Impairment per year on average PLN 3,000 x 5 = PLN 15,000

2. Technical inspection x3 = PLN 300

3. Garaging was assumed to be PLN 50 per month = PLN 3,000 in 5 years

4. Service

Annual mileage of 15,000 km

5 years = 75,000 km

During this period you should at least:

- Change the oil with a filter 6 times PLN 3600

- 1 time replace the timing gear 2000 PLN

- 1 time overhaul the rear hub PLN 1500

- change 2 tires front and 8 rear = PLN 6,000

- Replace the pads 5 times = PLN 1500

- change brake and cooling fluids

The average, optimistic cost of the service is PLN 15,000 over 5 years.

5. AC, OC - about PLN 3,000 per year, total cost of PLN 15,000 over 5 years


With the above assumptions, not counting fuel, the cost of driving 75,000 km in 5 years, excluding the purchase cost, is equal to:

48 300 PLN - 64 groszy per kilometer
