Some places, such as India or Vietnam, are much cheaper than other areas. You can rent a small 125-150cc bike in Asia for maybe $15/day. On the other hand, you could easily spend $15 for lunch in a Western country.
If you look at some of the other threads, the daily cost estimates for lengthy RTW tours ranged from $50 US to $100 US per day. That doesn't include the cost of air transport or shipping motorcycles. At the $50 end riders were tenting it every day, doing most of their own cooking, having to make hard choices as to paying park entry fees, extra-curricular activities, etc. The folks spending $100/day, on the other hand, were staying in cheap hotels, eating local food, and able to afford extra fun activities.
The longest trip I have ever done was a month touring in Australia. My costs were about $100/day to rent a motorcycle plus fuel/oil, another $1500 for a round-trip plane ticket, and then maybe $50/day for food, camping, etc. I camped out most days but was reasonably comfortable, and had money to enter parks and take tours.
I guess just make an estimate of what you think you will spend, and start saving... :|
