What's the biggest surprise cost you didn't expect?

Tires. They vanish faster than you think. A rear tire on a sporty bike can be gone in 3,000 miles, and a good set runs $300 to $600 plus mounting. That's the one that sneaks up on everyone.

How much does insurance actually run for your bike?

Most riders pay $300 to $1,200 a year. It swings hard with your bike, record, and state. Full coverage on a sportbike with a clean record runs $1,000+, while a basic liability policy on a cruiser can sit under $300.

Is it worth it if you only ride on weekends?

Yes, if the weekend rides are the point. At $1,500 to $3,000 a year beyond the bike, a weekend-only bike is still cheaper than most hobbies. The cost only stings if you barely ride.
