Hardcore Biker
Hi everyone.
I was wondering how many people buy their bikes outright and how many get finance or a loan or whatever?
I want to get a new bike (new to me, not necessarily brand new) and I wanted people opinions of whether it's worth it to get finance or should I just save up until I can buy it outright?
I can see advantages and disadvantages to both so just want peoples opinions at this stage.
Cheers.

Never, never borrow money to pay for a depreciating asset.
Never.

That was kinda what I was thinking, but I'd hoped someone would reassure me otherwise. I want it nowOriginally Posted by Ocean1

Personally i say buy it by saving mate,having a mortgage is bad enough ,the idea of having payments for a bike as well doesnt do anything for me.Depends on plenty of things i suppose,job security being top of the list these days eh.

Fair enough. Those were my thoughts anyway I guess. Thanks for making me rethink something I might regret in a short time.

You sound like you have paid for your own wedding before. Maybe even more than once.

Would that I could pay for my own funeral more than once.

Knowing my luck so far even if I got one of those it would turn out to be depreciating asset.

only because they wouldnt take a credit card and the bank wanted 10 bucks for a cheque so i said 10 bucks?!!! no way give it to in me cash then
the old bank balance looked mighty low for a long time though after that wasnt a nice feeling

Credit unions are probably the fairest way to borrow money.
I bought my first HD with a credit union loan,,very low interest,no jumping through hoops to get the loan.
Plus my repayments were less than what I'd already been putting into the CU for the 12 months previous.
Any other way of financing simply costs to much and even with full insurance if you lose the bike some how your still going to come out of it well out of pocket..
Finance co's and insurance co's all went to the same thief classes.
