TCO - Total Cost of Ownership  1967 Aermacchi Harley Davidson Sprint H Project

What does it cost to own a classic or vintage bike and keep it on the road?

In the spirit of full disclosure and transparency we'll be tracking the expenses involved in purchasing and maintaining a vintage motorcycle. We are doing this to educate those that think they are going to buy a bike and get it running for next to nothing. Remember, we started with a solid running bike. We haven't even gotten into a engine or transmission rebuild which can add significant dollars to any projects cost.
