When I was in high school, I remember a motorcycle machine addressing the topic of building vs buying a bike, particularly the claim that building was cheaper. They chose a particular bike (a Kawasaki 400 street bike of some sort, if memory serves) then priced out every. single. part. down to the last washer. The cost of parts alone was something like $14,000; retail cost of the bike was under $6,000.
