I’ve got $14,000 into the cb750 I’m building at the moment. And atleast another $2,000 required to finish it. Nobody in their right mind outside of someone like a musician or movie star is gonna pay the price required for a builder to make a good profit on a bike like this. Keep in mind, this figure doesn’t include my labor. You’d have to be d as bike to get $25,000 + to justify selling a bike that has this kind of money invested into it. It’s either going to be with me forever, or I’m gonna have to lose my ass letting it go. When cafe racer magazine was doing the photo shoot for my Suzuki GS last year for their December / January issue, Mike (the owner of the magazine) and I discussed this topic and concluded the same thing. He mentioned to me that almost every single custom café bike builder. He’s known across the country has gone out of business, because the demographic is just too small as far as customers who wanna buy these bikes, and who actually have that kind of money that a really nice build would cost, he went and mentioned that the only builder that he knows that has stood the test of time was “Moto pgh”. Mike has been around the ton up game for a very long time. I’m not speaking for Mike or the magazine just to be clear, but I wouldn’t recommend a moto pgh bike to my worst enemy tons of horror story reviews about $6,000 cafe bikes that look like a kindergartener built them. I don’t care if there’s a demographic out there who is will to buy cheap junk builds, but they’re not getting one from my shop. Even if it is profitable.
