Bike upgrade planner
Night Rider Bike Upgrade Calculator
Compare buying now with saving for another bike. Saving time uses your cash balance; payback uses the extra income from an explicitly stated what-if model, not a figure the game publishes.
You still need $1,500 for the Corvara RV 660.
Enter what you normally bank per minute to see how long saving takes and when the upgrade would pay for itself.
Estimated, not confirmed by the game. Everything below assumes your income scales with the listed Earns figure.

Empty cells mean the calculator needs a cash-per-minute figure. Prices and multipliers are the listed dealership values read from recorded gameplay.
What the estimate assumes
- Cash still needed is the full price minus your balance. Nothing in the footage shows a trade-in, so the old bike is not discounted.
- Saving time is the gap divided by the rate you entered.
- Payback uses a what-if model: target income = your rate × the next bike's Earns ÷ your current bike's Earns. The game does not publish how the multiplier is applied.
- Codes, quest rewards, fines and bounties are excluded. Use a normal banked run, not a run that included a bonus.
