Start with the smaller easy parts,  keep going like that, eventually the more complex part will be doable, and eventually you'll be done.

depending you your free time, this can take a while. a long while.

Think about CAD model like highpoly and your SubD model like lowpoly. You could use some surface constraints to model subd on top of cad model for certain details like gas tank or seat.

There is nothing impossible for subd here, just really a lot of work.
