I think the whole "sell out" thing is a pretty silly concept. All of these guys, Jesse James, the Teutels, etc. make bikes that only the very wealthy can afford. How is making bikes for rich businessmen, athletes and actors *not* selling out?
Jesse James is out to make as much $$$ as he can while he's still popular. Makes more sense to me than some vague concept of "selling out".
As for the Honey Bee, it certainly wasn't the most challening of builds, but I do agree that the end result was funny. I would also keep in mind that the content of the show isn't entirely up to Jesse James. The producers have a big hand in what we see, not to mention the folks who edit the footage.
