CBF125 and YBR125 Running Costs, not for CBR125.
I should warn you that seeing all the running costs might
be a shock.
You will either realise its very, very cheap to run,
or you will think its very expensive,
since you have not
seen the costs of another bike or car.
If you do the calculations on a large bike or car,
you will find the bike is very, very cheap.
The average miles per year for any UK motorcycle is around
2500 miles,
I entered 5000 in this example, but you can
change it with a calculator.
Fuel consumption varies dramatically based on your average
speed.
My guess is it could vary between 90mpg and 130mpg.
The MPG I have entered is not accurate but its a guide,
for between 50mph and flat out.
Tyre wear can also vary substantially so is only a general guide.
Oil change is around the mileage a good mechanic would change it at,
not what the owners manual states.
Bike devaluation, this is impossible to get right, depends on age of bike.
As well as the current market at the time.
It could even be around £1000 for a brand new bike after 1 year.
