The border costs are variable , depending on which one you use , and even at the same one at different times.They do have standard fees but they are applied in a capricious fashion at times. They are within a range which should not stop you from travelling.Size of bike will have no bearing but you will have to buy the compulsory liability insurance for the bike at the borser in Belize, Nicaragua and Costa Rica at reasonable price. The most expensive border will be around $40, for Honduras.Getting into a country may be free but upon leaving you may have a tourist tax imposed on you, as in Belize the $30BZ Environment Tax . It is impossible to really give a definitive number because the rules can be changed at any time.
Pay only fees as explained by an official of the border to the official, NOT to the hired assistant! Demand an official receipt for each payment. If you hire a guide decide on a reasonable small fee beforehand, pay after services are rendered, and nothing more.
You will see poverty but you will also see very great wealth.
