    +1 on that, life is way too short and is definitely for living. Getting a bank loan rather than HP/finance company is sensible - as long as you can afford it and if possible pay it back ASAP. Doesn't hurt to have a good credit record with your bank down the track.
    End of the day, it's your life and your money - do what feels right to you.

    I reckon do it!

    Good advice to check out more places, I managed to get mine on the home loan rate, though I guess being a student, is an apprentice counted as a student?

    Mine will be way way cooler and it was my idea before you stole it.....

    As far as being counted as a student I'm not sure, I THINK you have to study 1 full day a week to qualify, whereas I pretty much turn up to night class and sign my name then leave.. I could try being creative with the truth..

    If you can't afford to buy a bike from 1990 with cash, then you can't afford to buy it. Keep saving.

    What, and buy a Hyosung instead?

    A well looked after NC30 will still give modern bikes a good scare everywhere bar the longer straights, which is where you're looking at tickets anyway.

    Besides which, modern bikes have a deplorable excess of swingarms fitted these days.

    I could sell all my bikes and my car and buy a brand spanking new R1 and still have enough left over for Two Bros exhaust system and power commander.

    I'd rather have my "old" bikes thanks. There aren't any "new" bikes that give me a hard-on like the NC and RC30's do.

    do it,buy it,just dont KEEP financing things...Just shop around for the best rate I would even think about a slightly longer term to keep repayments easily manageable,or get a short term ,bite the bullet and know you will have to be careful for a year(say) but you need to have a bit of cash put aside for tyres (or whatever) if you go the tough route .

    Agreed, not to mention the fact that a tidy NC30 could well appreciate unlike many bikes from that era, especially in the mid size range.
    NC30's have a very good rep and an almost cult following now, so it's not hard to imagine them gaining 'collectible' status.
    Besides, they're a heap of fun and sound fantastic!
