There is only one way to put it, the cost of motocross is unreal. It is not rare to see a family go in debt thousands of dollars and loose everything they own because of motocross. Dirt bikes can cost nearly 10 thousand dollars and that is just getting started. There are many costs associated with motocross including fuel getting to the track, hotels to say at, riding fee's and much more.
To be competitive in the sport of motocross you have to have more than one bike. You need at least one practice bike and a race bike. The practice bike is often warn out and barley running while the race bike is kept for big races. Many family's also purchase motor homes to get to the track and stay at. I would say the average motor home at the track is around 50 thousand dollars. With one motor home and two dirt bikes you are nearly at 70 thousand dollars.
After you have dirt bikes and a motor home comes all the other fee's. You have to pay 30 dollars every day to ride. You can spend up to 100 dollars a day in race fuel. You also have to pay a small fee to get in and etc. You also have to maintain your dirt bikes which is very costly. Spending thousands a month to replace the clutches, pistons and parts that you ruin when you crash. It is not a cheap sport to say the least!
