just curious to know who out there borrowed money to get their pride and joy, and who they borrowed from , mum and dad, the bank or some dodgy finance company, i borrowed $7k from westpac to get mine , a mate of mine is borrowing the same amount from his parents to get a new R1 so who out there is up to their eyeballs in debt?

hahahaha yeah $7k for a new R1 sounds too good to be true , he is however trading in a gixxer seven fiddy

My mate just financed for a GSX250. He got his through Pacific Retail Finance at 12%.
I got my SV using the Wellington Motorcycle inhouse finance.

I borrowed $20,000 from BNZ for my Trophy and its hotting up. Paid it off 4 months ago - don't miss the repayments i have to say. It's like having $500 a month to spend on new paint and go fast bits.

Add - If you can - a bank's personal loan is cheaper than finance co. usually by a lot

[scooterboynz]

i pay back $170 a fortnight , not too bad at all have about $3k to go

I would be if I could be?

gg parents or bank loan~ thou next bike i get, which is soon, this week maybe, ill be paying cash~, might grab an fzr400 off a mate of mine, gonna test ride this week and ponder the risk of getting pulled up for $400 extra fine :E

I looked at financing a bike for my next bike but the repayments just scared me off. I don't like the thought of paying $300/month for a vechicle. My bikes may be old and not flashy but at least they are mine.

When i changed jobs i cashed in my superanuation and paid $8k cash for mine

I sold my soul to the bank.. wasn't worth much, but did get me a 636 with some more bartering.. I much prefer a bank over a finance company

Borrowed 5k off ASB, i'll never do it again almost paid off my baby though but at 18.5% interest its not pretty.

They for some reason made me a preferred customer (just cause I payed the last bill....) and are helping me with the purchase of the new bike.
