Question 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?
