A million for those bikes? Wow. I'd have thought it would be closer to 100k. Figure the labour for each of those is what, 5 guys for about a week? Add several thousand for non-fabbed parts. And several thousand for paint and chrome ... I can't see those custom bikes costing OCC any more than $20,000 a piece to make. Even if I'm way off and it somehow costs them $40,000 to make a theme bike ... thats still a crazy high profit margin.
