You would really invest ~$30k just to start doing that? Not to even talk about starting from zero if you are asking about design software...
Hardware for example HP L365 + Summa S2T + Good laminator.

I have a friend that is trying to sell MX graphics and Ill be printing for him. Search for MX templates, there is a site that sells templates for any bike you can think of. Buy template, design in adobe illustrator and it would be much easier to have someone else print it instead of you learning how to print and laminate from scratch. Convexvinyl makes a vinyl and laminate specifically for motorbikes, Ill be giving it a try soon.
You are probably looking at a minimum of 10k-20k to get started in printing with each bike still costing you $100+ to make vs paying someone else $200 to print for you.
I would suggest a print/cut machine for you are trying to do, even something like the roland BN 20 would work depending how wide the largest graphic would be. (you can cut wide rolls of material with a compound miter saw to fit a smaller printer, I cut 60" rolls in half all the time)

For designing of any shapes (stickers, graphics, e.t.c.) is never be problem in case you have graphic design skills.
I have an experience to do bike decals for Taiwan's bike production company they was accept any print ready vector or bitmap files.
I agree with all advise an above regarding equipment. Even you not so sensitive for high budget for this startup you can way faster achieve the final result in case you will print/cut your stickers an outsource.

For printer, consider the Epson S80. Awesome wide color gamma ink set to hit those hard hit MX colors
I am 50 years old. retired 10 years ago. Have 3 businesses that do well. I'm looking to do something that I think I would enjoy doing, not for making money, just for fun. Usually before I spend say more than 10k I like to do a little research on the product. I appreciate any feedback ! Oh...and in my area its like pulling teeth to get any signs made. (one hour south of Atlanta)
The best hint Is go on youtube and follow the Cricket system, since you want to do it for fun. They have tons if reviews and training fir free. Good luck.

Our company currently produces MX, Side by Side, ATV, Snowmobile Graphics in-house. We print using 1 of our 3 Canon Colorado Printers and cut out using a Zund. I could help you out with material referrals, templates etc if you are still looking for help?

If you will be doing a lot of the super thick laminate, you might want to look at a Summa F1612 flatbed cutter. You would have a lot better luck with that versus a roll cutter.
