Used Buyer Review

Look, 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.
