Was Käufer wissen sollten
S&S Engine Reliability
The KRGT-1 uses a proven S&S 124ci V-twin engine, known for strong reliability in the custom cruiser world. Regular oil changes and valve inspections are key to long-term performance.
Strong Resale Value
With a starting price around $85,000–$90,000, ARCH motorcycles hold value exceptionally well due to low production numbers and celebrity co-founder Keanu Reeves. Limited supply keeps demand high in the used market.
Custom-Built Fitment
Each KRGT-1 is partially custom-fitted to the rider's body measurements at the Hawthorne, CA workshop, making it a highly personalized machine. Buyers should verify the bike was properly fitted for them before purchasing used.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A legitimate motorcycle first, status symbol second — buy carefully."
$78,000-$95,000 usedLook, the KRGT-1 is genuinely special — Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger built something that rides as good as it looks, which almost never happens with celebrity vanity projects. The S&S 124ci V-twin pulls hard and smooth, the geometry is dialed in tighter than most customs you'll find at this price point, and the quality of fit and finish will make you question everything you thought you knew about American production motorcycles. It's not a poser bike. It actually works. That said, buying one used is a different conversation. Parts availability is genuinely challenging — Arch is a small-batch operation, not Harley-Davidson. If something proprietary needs replacing, you're calling California and waiting. Service intervals need to be verified thoroughly; these engines love maintenance and hate neglect. Check the electronics carefully, inspect the frame welds personally, and get documentation on every mile. Low mileage examples sitting years in garages worry me more than ones that've been properly ridden.
