Unless you have access to Jack Ryan's checkbook, not sure how you are going to make this happen.

If you are serious, the best way is to buy the bikes one at a time, do whatever you want with them, and then resell them. Buy right, and you could breakeven on the purchases.
I like this analogy - the price to buy the chopper is $2M, the price to rent the chopper is $2M, and the price to test-drive the chopper is $2M.
