I did it as a hobby really as there's no money in it truthfully, well not doing complete renovations there's not. Take this Little DT125MX total cost of buying the bike and importing it from France plus all the parts. Paint and that around £2200 without the weeks and weeks of labour, the bike on the market was in reality worth around £1800 at the time, Yes there were loads for sale at far higher prices but they never sell.
