What do you pay for your toy?

**cowpoos** · 16th January 2007, 20:54

what do you pay fortnightly for your bike...alot of you will HP your bike
so whats an average figure?

and if you'ld care to make a comment on whether you would consider leasing a new sports/tourer/cruiser/what ever bike if the fortnightly payments wern't to far off your HP figure...
bearing in mind that a lease bike would be fully maintained including tyres with in reason [as in if you flog the shit outta ya tyres and chew a set up in a few hundy KM's and do massive touring km's]
and other benifits including having a new bike every 2-3 years?
no cash out lay
not having to worry about resale
always having the latest model out
etc etc etc...

is this a cunning plan in the makings????

The idea of leasing is a great idea in some sense, I have always paid cash for all my bikes that I have owned from my 400buck CM200T right trhough to my current Griso, I have only changed bikes on average once every 3-4yrs. Though my current machine I see holding on to for a bit longer..

she was supposed to be cheap but I'm gonna fuckin pay for it in the long run.

I own my little ol'Hornet outright, but I fork out $$'s for the go-gas and gee-gaws and bits'n'bobs for it ... all adds up, but I

my little ride I do. Next bike will also be the same ... cashed up in one go!

I pay cash for an object that can depreciate a thousand dollars a second as it grinds along the pavement, or at least my business does

I'm afraid my bike(s) are considered a luxury, and are paid for and run on disposable income (I should be lucky...!). Can't see myself leasing a motorcycle unless it was my primary transport and/ or a business vehicle. However, in saying that, one's motive for leasing will probably not differ much from one who is paying by HP

my 2cents.

lease bikes you wouldnt be able to put the fruity bits on, and you'd treat it like shit. as it wasen't your to give a stuff about , just like when you hire a car

all bikes would come with a pipe probally...and if it was possible to mod a bike or get what you wanted out of a deal you would?

I've bought my wee learner bike cash - I'll be borrowing a few bob for the next bike though - I plan to keep the next bike for at least a decade - I don't need the latest or fastest - limit for repayment will be $40 per week (that's all the disposable income I have left!)

Needs change though McJim...esp first big bikes

**jimevo** · 16th January 2007, 21:57

I am not sure who is offering the leasing scheme as such...to hire a late model bike cost at least $200/day, if not more!

Save the money and pick up a bargain at someone else's expense is my recommendation!!!
