There is a meta known within the community on how to get yourself a minibike by day 3 or day 4 if the right cards are dealt and you use them wisely. For anyone who is unsure of how to achieve this, the following steps must be put into action:
1. Spend your first three skill points into Intellect and invest a single point into Advanced Engineering. Get your forge going as soon as possible to start burning down iron and clay, preferably on day 1. Alternatively you can hold out on this until the very last minute, choosing not to spend the last skill point into Intellect in case you find yourself some nerdy glasses.
2. On your very first day, loot as many kitchens in houses as possible. Acquire a wrench and 2 bottles of acid.
3. With the wrench you've just found, salvage some cars for an engine or a battery. Be on the lookout for school buses and other large vehicles as they are (virtually? completely?) guaranteed to give you both of these items as drops.
4. Invest a single skill point into Miner 69er to craft yourself a claw hammer. Alternatively you can craft one if you find the iron tools schematic, or you can simply find one; this process is made way easier if you can find yourself a working stiff tool store.
5. Meanwhile, invest your next skill point into Advanced Engineering and craft yourself a workbench. Over the next day or so once you've accumulated another 2 skill points, dump them both into Grease Monkey.
6. Craft yourself a minibike.
Minibike handlebars are quite cheap to craft (the only limiting factor being headlights, which are a rare drop from car chassis), and they also sell for quite a pretty penny - upwards of 350 dukes per set of handlebars. On top of that their stack size is 50. With two points into Grease Monkey crafting them will be even cheaper. Just by the default sell price alone a stack of minibike handlebars sell for 18,000 dukes. If you wish you can dump a point or two into Salvage Operations and spend a good portion of daylight for several days during the first week or two doing nothing but breaking down vehicles on the road. By day 21 you could have over 30,000-40,000+ dukes to your name, and that does not include questing and selling other items.

Nothing wrong with the motorcycle though.
