I could not build a car or motorcycle for a tenth of the cost of a new one.
How many hours do you think you'll need to put in to get a bike that will match the Transport's capability -- in all areas ? It's level of finish ?

I'm not knocking the DIY approach, in fact it very much appeals to me, but it really is an apples and oranges kind of thing.
