If your serious about your question, then you are probably familiar with the Cannondale motorsports project.
After Joe Montgomery decided he wanted to build a competitive American made off-road race bike he spoke with most, if not all of the major players in the industry asking basically the same thing. Almost all told him the same thing.
From drawing board to the end of the assembly line with the first bike, roughly five years and 80 million dollars. He tried to do it in three with 40 million and due to many reasons that mostly centered around being under funded and pushed for time, he failed.
You might try to get in touch with the parent company of Chris Craft boats. It's my understanding that they recently purchased the rights to the "Indian" name and intend to build a production facility in North Carolina.

Depends on how much work you want to do in-house. If you are on a limited start-up budget, you could rent a small suite in an industrial park, hire a few assemblers, a stylist, and an engineer, and get a few tools like paint guns and welding torches. Then order the parts from various suppliers and job shops and have your crew put them together. That approach might still cost you a quarter million or so in your first year.

matters what kind of volume youd be making, and how much you would be subcontracting out. could be anywhere from nothing (aka your garage with your tools), to tens of millions of dollars.
