Given that they're the same frame with the same outsourced fuel tank with some paint and junk thrown on, they're proof there's a sucker born every minute.

I'd like to know what exactly a 140k restoration is, build a mold and build a whole new boat? (Which similar is being done down in Portsmouth with wooden boats, almost zero original wood, but they're 'restorations'.) |

If they have to bleep every three words, it's un-watchable IMO. You can't follow a story line that is full of bleeps. |

They aren't the same frame and tanks. Far from anything stock. But, they are still way over priced. With the price of materials these days, I can understand a full custom bike running $50K. I don't understand $100K + though. I built my own full custom several years ago for $10k. Granted I didn't use as many custom parts as these guys, but I would say you can build a pretty sweet custom scooter for $25K given the current market.
