Step 1
Run an ad in your local classifieds offering to restore motorcycles for a fee. Many people want their old bikes restored, but don't have the time or patience to do it themselves. This is the best way to make a career of this hobby. Your clients pay for all parts and labor, and you get a hourly wage or a flat fee, depending on what you decide at the beginning of the project.
-
Step 2
Buy a pricing guide that gives you the details on how much specific bikes are worth at various conditions.
-
Step 3
Check classifieds, garage sales, flea markets and online for motorcycles for sale. Compare their conditions and asking prices to your price guide.
-
Step 4
Estimate the amount of money it will cost you to restore the motorcycle in question. See what price you could sell the bike for once in better condition.
-
Step 5
Invest in the motorcycles that are priced below their worth and that you can make a profit on after restoration is complete.
