I would not let you do a compression check on my bike if you too cheap to buy shop manuals.
Go to all of your area shops and find out how to get online access to repair all years and models of bikes. Spend you profits on local advertisement and keep all reciepts for tax write offs. Go to county court house to file for a "ficticious business name" and make sure you tell em you will NOT be doing oil changes or else you will have to have all sorts of containment vessels.

Do you even know how to repair motorcycles? If you did, you wouldn't be asking this question. I'll give you the short list.
-Complete set of hand tools. Sockets, wrenches, pliars, screw drivers, hammers.
-A little more exotic - Tire irons, punch & chisel set, screw extracters, hand held impact wrench, drill & drill bits, universal oil filter wrench, universal fork seal driver, ratio rite cup, oil drain pan, snap ring pliar set, complete set of feeler gauges, I could go on forever. You'll just have to buy tools as you need them.
-Every bike needs it's "own special tools" - Flywheel puller, valve adjuster. You get the idea.
-A little moe expensive - Torque wrench, multi-meter, compression tester, floor jack, tire bead breaker, air compressor, parts cleaner.
-If you just want to do tune-ups, oil changes, tire replacements, trouble shoot electrical problems, carb cleaning, change brakes, chain & sprockets. You can probably get started with $500.
