I agree with PanEuropean.
I rode some 26.000 km in northern and eastern Europe and Sibiria within 80 days. Spent 4.000 € which eqivals to 50€ a day.
Bike and tent etc. not included.
With hindsight an expensive trip.
Some general hints work everywhere:
- the faster the dearer (see my example)
- my experience: accomodation can be a third of a trip. Go for free camping. Enjoy the countryside. If you hit a big town entry early to get cheap accomodation (paying 70U$ at 11 pm whilst raining cats and dogs in Irkutsk is not cheap)
-maintenance: depends on the wage per hour. If a pro is able to change your steering bearings for 2 U$ an hour, let him do it. On the other hand I can change my oil myself in Europe or N america.
-chow: the higher the BIP, the more U gotta cook yourself. I cannot afford to dine out in a norwegian restaurant.
But I can in Russia or India or S America.
Just some thoughts
