I bought a running registrable roadworthy BMW last weekend for $400 aud. I also own two others that are better condition that I bought for $2500 aud each.
most people buy way to expensive mountain bikes but dont have the skill lol see way too many 40 year olds just cruising trails on a $5000 bike but i have a $1000 bike and will fucking rip that shit. even when i had a $500 bike i was doing big jumps and bottomin out the forks lol flipped the bars a few times. honestly most riders would be safe with about a $1000-1500 bike for trails as for that price your gonna still have a better bike than a 2005 bike that may have costed $4000 due to tech getting sleightly better for the price.
Expensive cars get cheap really quick when they get a little older. Buying those cars is no problem but the upkeep costs are insane (e.g. original BMW brakes are very expensive).
I've thrown 30k at my car that is books for about this. It's truly the proof that money can buy happiness if you are able to build it how you want it. Hobbyists and enthusiasts only earn money so they can budget some of it for what they love. People without these things in their lives can be seen on living on sidewalks, in crack houses, drinking often, beating their wife and kids, chasing hookers (highly encouraged), and many other things as hobbies because they haven't found what they like or they like what the found. I choose all but the crack. And the car is the reason I might find a sidewalk residence.
If folks think that's rough then I don't recommend getting into road/triathlon. My new triathlon bike is right at $5,000 just for the frameset. Add in the wheels, groupset, seat, power meter, ect and the cost is around $13,000-$14,000, welcome to the world of carbon fiber. Still, Scotty's bike can take a lot more of a beating than mine though, haha!
Your comment can be applied to any sport. Kids worrying about buying 200.00 plus dollar sneakers to play basket ball or having to have the best skates and stick to play hockey. Just be happy for Scotty to be able to have a nice bike to ride. He’s getting older and deserves more then a 500.00 bike to ride.
Lol maybe but may have more to do with getting stuff at costs etc. A lot of bike shop guys near me have some of the nicest mountain bikes on the trails and tend to get new ones quite often. Not sure what the price difference is but it's gotta be pretty huge considering mountain bikes easily get over 5k.
@@prslol1 Mountain bike employee pricing is amazing, my Rocky Instinct BC edition is worth about $9,500 but I’ve only put about $4,000 into it. The mountain bike industry is great to employees and its a huge perk

Man coming from the days of the original s&m dirt bike being the "light street bike" to this crazy ti contraption it really makes me feel old lol. Idgaf I still get out and have fun and that is still core to what bmx is all about. Keep shredding brothers!
Crazy eh? S&M still make really solid and light frames. Nothing on TI levels, but most are around 4.5lbs these days. Still the best brand in the business for me haha
My bike has zero titanium on it and only has like maybe 1000 into it. Personally i didn't care for this video because I'd much rather see actual riding than talk about how much each part costs.
Dang! Cool to see some RNC stuff. I had the lite sprocket and cranks way back. He sold them to me super cheap before he stopped making stuff for awhile.
the sad part is that in the road biking industry, a $5k will get you a really good bike but it’s still 5-$7k away from being considered a top of the line road bike
Well, if you ride BMX exclusively, then its good. I can easily see myself getting a 5k bike if I was that invested in my hobby and it was the highest end available.
It blows my mind how much things have changed. We used to grab bars of soap from home and go to the local park and ride anything we could figure out. Now the town we grew up in has a skatepark. It was built after we were adults and we could lobby the town to build it for the kids. But it was a huge victory to us. We still drive over and ride the park at times because we fought hard to have that built for the kids. We had to drive 30+ min into Indianapolis to get to a skatepark. So we didn't start going to skateparks until we were old enough to get our driver's licenses. Our parents didn't take us to parks. Parents weren't often as involved in their kid's sports as we are now. Some were, there are ALWAYS the exceptions, like Big Scott and Donna. The bikes have gotten so much more expensive and so much more durable.
Yeah I got over 3k into my bike from the Onyx insta engagement hubs, to disk brakes and a lightweight few pound race bike frame and few carbon fiber parts but damn titanium blows it outa the water lol
Late 90s I built my own. Cost between $2000-2500. And that was top of the line back then. I never really rode it much because I stopped riding shortly after that. I took it out last year and still brand new. Titanium is a whole new level!!
@@elijahkoehrer239Dayum, heres a funny story that happened to me funny story, When I first started riding dirt jumps I started out on tabletops and I nose cased the jump like crazy and I was sent flying along with my bike, I was fine and my bike was not broken at all, I still ride the same gt performer, I started riding like last year.
he is my idol i started bmx because of him i got so many people on bmx yes i was a scooter kid when i was 11 up to 12 then i was a gamer till 15 he was my hero i tried and tried to replicate his moves broke my collarbone trying double backflip double tailwhip and set me scared for years but scotty with his injury pulled me back i was so so scared haved riden a bike since 2016 but been watching this super hero n i am ready no fear no pain no excuses he is my hero
Hey Scotty love that you put out this video and explaining about your parts and what your BMX is worth now. Amazing! I too have a BMX that I ride and is my personal bike of transport. It's a Rebel Mongoose and is fifteen years old. I have had many changes done on it and overhauled it twice! I love the bike and I invest a lot into it and it rides better now with all the newer modifications. I can make a list too but too much detail. Such a good idea to finding out the worth of your BMX! Thanks for posting!
I have a Cook Bros Cruiser with Phil Wood hubs. Look that up if you ever want to see a cruiser from the 80's that makes your bike look like a sensible purchase. I recently saw a Cook Bros frame/fork set and seat clamp sell on ebay for $11k.
funny my suelo v3 custom frame with custom wtp diy welded forks, swiss miss bars, 990s front and rear, gyro, 4 odyssey big foots, ti brake cables, profile ti hubs, ti spokes, sun envy rims, ti profile crank setup, light tubes, acsrl kevlar tires, light chain, imperial sprocket, ti seatpost and seat guts was at 9 lbs complete for only 1500 or less, all new.
I would love to see 2006 small heavy bike Scotty see this type of bike 15 years later. Early 2000’s riders with their 5 inch bars, the 27 lbs frames, the seat post in the air. All types of crazy stuff. It would be interesting to have a old va modern bike comparison
I love the channel, but I recall when Scotty was asking us for money after getting hurt. How does a guy that drives a GTR and Teslas dare ask us for money? Now he's flexing about his bike costing more than a BMW. You just lost a lot of respect from me for this video.
I got a nice custom built haro/WTP BMX last year on Facebook marketplace for 60$, I got a new colony free coaster from source bmx, and I had a few parts already to add to it. I also got a 21” specialized p20 BMX for 80$, I got nice haro la Mesa tires with green sidewalls for 20$. I’m very happy with my bikes, I ride them quite a bit at the big new skatepark we got here in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I Also have a mongoose wicked moose 26” fat bmx, I love it.
If I were to build a bike at that price, what kind of returns on my investment might I get opposed to a bike under $1500? Yeah, how many will ask such a question? I'm asking because I drive an s197 and seem to spend tons on it. My buddies and credit counselors are frowning. I'm at least 5k deep on wheels and tires and another 6k deep on upgrades and minor maintenance type repairs. Far more than a financial advisor would ever allow. Car dudes understand. BTW, I have an amazing parents that always have encouraged being happy and lo9ving your rides. Be it skateboards, bicycles, motorcycles, or autos. Keep up the energy dude. Your enthusiasm is excellent.
the prices don't surprise me at all. I remember in the early 1980s some kids spent a LOT of money on their BMX bikes. They probably spent more then this back then, because none of it was made in China. They would buy either a Diamond Back or Mongoose BMX bike and then slowly upgrade a lot of the components.
Literally just gave away a bike I built back in 2010 that I spent 1500 bucks on. I don't ride it anymore and don't need the money. But man bikes are crazy expensive. I ride more mountain/trail now and my one bike which is about 5k, has lasted 7 years of bashing with good maintenance and its still worth about 2k today used.
There is a 1930s Elgin Bluebird bicycle online. I went through all the restoration photos, and they really did a top notch job. It was a real garbage heap when they started. You could see through all the tins where it was rusted out. It was put up for sale, where it sold for well over $10,000 Also check out a Elgin Robin, Twin 40, or Miss America. If you want to look at something ugly look at the Elgin Blackhawk. Otherwise spare yourself.
I was super lucky to score my "98 M3 in 2014 for $5K. It's worth north of $20K now. My 2021 GT Pro Performer has at least another grand thrown into it and it's not even finished. They put way too many black parts on their Heritage bikes.
I used to work for Titanium Metals Corporation (TiMet Corp.) back in the early '90s, and yeah, the sheet, plate, tubing, bar, and billet (log) was expensive back then. So, I guess it hasn't changed that much since then.
I’ve been looking for the perfect crank for my 1-of-1 Titanium HH Phat Jawn 24” cruiser. (RIP Harry H...). Now I know what I’m putting on to replace the Answer ones. Love those two Ti 20’s.
Sweet bike has a old school 80's look back in the day sometimes we would remove all the labels on the bike just to have a Chrome look. Looks like u pulled it off.
5k seems to be around the upper limit of bmx cost. But look at carbon fiber road bikes and full suspension mountain bikes, some of them cost $10,000-20,000!!! You would be looking at the lower end of brand new cars / down payment on a house!!!
When I rode flatland back in the late 90s/early 2000's I custom built a couple of completes using the most expensive parts on Morales pro flat frames, and the total both times came to around $1400 and I thought that was extreme. I can't image spending 5 grand on a bmx bike.
Id like to know How many people would prefer their cranks WIDER than stock !1!!? the best I can get is my race bike having roadbike 105's or Ultegras but if I tag a Jump at Sippy's they twist off quick. Wider? thats crazy, SC still shreds harder tho. To each is pwn.
In 1984 hutch made a bmx which retailed at £1250 in the UK. It had a lot of titanium parts and also magnesium parts, this was on another level for the time.

Also check out a Elgin Robin, Twin 40, or Miss America. If you want to look at something ugly look at the Elgin Blackhawk. Otherwise spare yourself.
Captions called Mike Laird - Mike Mary 🤣🤣
I was super lucky to score my "98 M3 in 2014 for $5K. It's worth north of $20K now.
My 2021 GT Pro Performer has at least another grand thrown into it and it's not even finished. They put way too many black parts on their Heritage bikes.
So glad to see how well youre doing
I used to work for Titanium Metals Corporation (TiMet Corp.) back in the early '90s, and yeah, the sheet, plate, tubing, bar, and billet (log) was expensive back then. So, I guess it hasn't changed that much since then.
Your cranks are as much as my bike costs 😂
Scotty be flexing on us lmao
I’ve been looking for the perfect crank for my 1-of-1 Titanium HH Phat Jawn 24” cruiser. (RIP Harry H...). Now I know what I’m putting on to replace the Answer ones. Love those two Ti 20’s.
Sweet bike has a old school 80's look back in the day sometimes we would remove all the labels on the bike just to have a Chrome look.
Looks like u pulled it off.
Could not imagine hanging around this guy.
from the wizard to the bmw man
Man they inspire me soo much to work hard and achieve your dreams. Thanks again yall.
I just realized how genius it would be to rob a bike shop. Not like I'm already making plans or something.
I have the Same Shadow Conspiracy chains on both my bmx bikes. They are amazing
**Cries in downhill** LMAO
Gotta go with titanium ceramic kink bb and along with a carbon fiber seatpost or primo thermalite post
And Gsport nipples to add more to the bike
5k seems to be around the upper limit of bmx cost. But look at carbon fiber road bikes and full suspension mountain bikes, some of them cost $10,000-20,000!!! You would be looking at the lower end of brand new cars / down payment on a house!!!
When I rode flatland back in the late 90s/early 2000's I custom built a couple of completes using the most expensive parts on Morales pro flat frames, and the total both times came to around $1400 and I thought that was extreme. I can't image spending 5 grand on a bmx bike.
BK's bike is so sick!!
My 30 year old S&M Challenger ran me about 1500 when I built it. That was expensive back then.
Even a handgrip i can't afford 😂😂
so excited for BK's new build!
Id like to know How many people would prefer their cranks WIDER than stock !1!!? the best I can get is my race bike having roadbike 105's or Ultegras but if I tag a Jump at Sippy's they twist off quick. Wider? thats crazy, SC still shreds harder tho. To each is pwn.
Would love to feel how light this is
In 1984 hutch made a bmx which retailed at £1250 in the UK. It had a lot of titanium parts and also magnesium parts, this was on another level for the time.
