This topic comes up all the time. Some should look up in the dictionary what all of the meanings for "investment" mean. It is not just to gain from a financial transaction.

With the emphasis on the word "he". Many times when you have a custom anything, it's usually appeals to the owner much more than other people.

That's me too.

About the only time I've seen any vehicle as an investment is a extremely limited edition, or a classic, or one owned by a celebrity, or used in movie. If I had that kind of money to spend on a motorcycle, it wouldn't be that one. I'd rather have a plain Harley once owned by Steve McQueen or something, or something used in a movie or tv show. Failing that, I'd customize a bike to look like something from a TV show or movie.

McQueens 1912 Harley went for 82 grand

But you got something in return for it, good health.

If the guy is wealthy and spends a **** ton of money on his bike, more power to him.

I'm just wondering why someone would go to the trouble and expense of building a custom and then turn around and sell it?

The last Ferrari 250 GTO to sell, went for 70 million dollars. Steve McQueen had one of those too. The next one that sells, is expected to hit 100 million dollars. It is, by far, the most valuable automobile in the world.

Hmm..I have a hunch he's sat and watched one to many episodes of that bike show with the dysfunctional family in New York. And a lot of episodes of Sons of Anarchy.
