Would there be a market for custom new-used bikes?

Hi

I’m just curious if there is a market for bikes/atvs/side by sides in USA or is there already so many competitor I mean new and used built to any specifications anyone wants. I’m not only speaking of parts, I mean like dipped frames, engine swaps. (500af etc) also cbr engine swapped side x sides/atvs. I do this for a living in Alberta but curious if there would be interest south of the border. I do my best to stay affordable with some units too, for example I just sold a 2016 rzr high lifter with 2006 cbr1000rr engine for $7000

We have mostly rednecks down here that put gsxr600 engines on lawnmowers and race them. Maybe.

I'm sure it's being done already.

Personally, i'm not buying a project from a guy in Canada (or anywhere not semi-local)
I've been burned too many times from "fabricators" that end up doing crap work.

Not saying you are, but all my work now goes semi-local where i can check out there work before i let them have the project.

@1983yz125. The reason I am asking is cause I don’t want to treat it like I’m a backyard mechanic, I want to do it like i do here, with financing and some warranty etc

Hey man keep that shit quiet. How do you expect Terry Varner to stay in business if you go spreading that logic
