I like your thinking. You'll have fun no matter what. If you make it to the north central US there is a free place to stay and a hot meal at my place. There are many others that will offer the same. Who says you have to travel around the world east to west. This trip would put you half way round. Next trip from lands end South Africa to Nordcap will complete a circumnavigation the wrong way round! I like your creative thinking. East/West is for folks who like changing time zones and shipping their bikes across vast oceans. Best luck! John Downs

Keep in mind, that your costs will probably vary depending on the area. Generally Europe, North America and Australia are among the most expensive, especially if you´re not camping and cooking your own food in those areas.
And on a RTW-tour, the costs of transporting your vehicle across the oceans or some other areas & getting flight tickets for yourself will be substantial, too. Freight costs aren´t fixed either, they depend on a million things, but luckily you should be able to get some rough idea about them on this website.

on a budget i'd recomend £40 per day. There are some very recent and very detailed trip cost charts, graphs and spreadsheets based on a car but noting based for a bike that i've seen.
My budget based on a car (two up) is £65 and this seems to be middle of the road. Considering you are on a bike and fuel costs are much less and there's only one of you i'd say £40 (or less) is possible. I'd go with £15 K if it were me. That way you can enjoy yourself and not have to worry every single day about money. You could spend your entire trip trying to do it cheap rather than enjoying the trip ! £30 a day sounds a bit low to me.

Well by some random twist of fate (long story!) I've now got 2 mates who want to come and we've made plans to depart early in 2013! Plenty of time to save more cash and think about which bike, which route etc etc
Big thanks to everyone for their replies

it depends where you go, camping keeps costs down and is pretty safe to do in most places and the good news is when a country is not that safe to camp in normally cheap dorm room can be found for under $5.00
To put it in prespective, we struggled to keep under £80 a day between 2 of us in europe, this included 2 tanks of fuel a day. We where easily keeping under £50.00 a day in Morocco and we where staying in hotels, converted forts and eating in half decent places. and in Iran we where living on less than £25.00 a day. £10,000 is a good start, if you can get £500 a month form your house then that would be enough, the most expensive thing is fuel, so if you travel slower its costs less, sitting in a hostel your paying $2 a day for drinking 50 cent coffe's and chilling out until you get you next rent payment is not the worst way to live!! Dont over think it mate, just do it!!

exciting times SJ! You are lucky you have a source of income whilst away. I'm nearly 28 and a long way off mortgages.
I'm near Newmarket so not far. Look forward to hearing about your planning. I'm just at the stage of planning my dates. Aiming to do New Zealand to London, Oct 2011. Eek.
