Job 2010...... Looked up classic bike rental on the WWW and found 2 not very good ones. With the popularity of classic car rental, got me thinking (recession aside). Thought about a dream garage of sorts: Hhhonda: RC30, RC45, C90(!), CBR900RRN, CBR600RR MV/Cagiva MV 312RR, Mito Triumph: Bonneville, Tiger, Speed Triple Norton: F1, Commando Yamahaha: RD350, R6, R1, YZF1000 Suzooki: GSXR 1100, 750, 1000 Kawaski: ZXR 750, ZX10, Duchati: 888SP5, 916SPS, 996SPS, 999R, Desmosid That is 25 bikes for about the same price as half a used F40 or a 2nd hand DBS. Assuming: 125 per day (except the C90) Rented 6 months of the year Rented only at weekends for 2 days £125 * 25 bikes * 26 days = £82,000 Quite conservative estimate. Charge each person £100 to join. 500 people join = £50,000 Question is would anyone rent them? Tried to keep the list relatively modern because of the uptime, servicing, parts issues. What do you reckon? |
