New Bike Finance rates? Any Manufacturer..

[topher91]

Just curious to know what special incentives/offers and finance rates are available from the bike makers right now.

Would like to explore the possibility of perhaps purchasing a new bike...

Was kinda interested in this:

AFAIK, Honda is the only company that actually finances their own bikes. Everything else gets run through banks and such. I financed a new Suzuki from Blackfoot back in 2003 and it was through Laurentian, it had nothing to do with Suzuki. I don't think there is a big enough market in financing toys to bother running a financing program directly from the manufacturer. I think most of these toys get paid for cash / line of credit.

OIC....

Makes sense.... So just Bank loan pretty much hey?

The place that you are buying your bike should set it up for you, however usually the dealership (ie: blackfoot motorsports, bowcycle) itself doesn't actually offer the financing, another company will. So if you have no credit it or bad credit, you probably wont get approved. And as far as i know its no where near what car incentives are. people "need" cars, they don't need toys.

I could be wrong though.

Honda's finance rate is above 10% :eek: 13% for a CBR250, thats worse than some credit cards!
Better off using a bank line of credit
