Here's a pic on what's done so far

On I get it built I will take it apart in sections to have cast as a 1/25 resin kit I'm making.

Hi everyone, since I can't find a 1/25 mini-bike on the market I will make one and cast it for all you guys

The kit will come with:

(1) 2-Stroke motor

(2) Pieces of side trim

(1) Seat

(Several) Frame components

I'm thinking about $7 for the kit

Are you guys interested? How much do you think it needs to be?

Oh and it includes instructions

I mean, honestly there are several mini bikes available in kits that can be found for reasonable money . Monograms Vandal has one and it is currently available. I'd like to see you finish scratch building this mini bike but don't do it with intent to sell just build it for yourself .

Long story short-- I wouldn't bother. There are plenty of other things in demand which are not available which would be a better use of your time and effort IMHO.

If I see a built one, I might be interested.

Based off the frame it looks like your going for the 60's kit look that was very popular on the west coast, here's the Taco that comes with the Vandal kit I built up a year or so ago. Honestly this would be a labor of love since there is already a fairly common injection molded version on the market, also it's brand specific whereas yours is a generic no name bike (Guys that build these want specific bikes like Rupps and Tacos). The project still has potential,but don't expect people to be pushing down your door to buy one.

I am with Casey, if you want to build one for yourself go ahead but the market for them might make it hard to be profitable.
