I think it'd be a great idea... pick up some DR's or DRZ's and do some home fabracation to strengthen the sub frame, build racks, setup suspension for a real life human, and fix known issues...
I'd love to do it on a one or two bike at a time buisness...
I wouldn't expect an actual return on my time though... like say buy a DRZ for 2500 and sell it for a 1-2k profit (probably wouldn't spend more than 500 on parts after you get two or three done)
for me the hobby of moding it would be enough... keep me busy doing the things I love, adding $ to the trip fund...
I wouldn't do it on an order basis though... just build a bike put it up for sale, then once I get a buyer... then adjust the suspension and anything else they want.
I love the idea... it's got me thinking.... LOL
