Cash for all of mine, including brand new Harley at 11 grand many years ago, Ducati ST2, brand new SV, brand new Speed Triple 1050. Wish I had that sort of money to spend on bikes now. I'd consider 0% finance if I could get that.

SV650 - 36 months interest free, written off 7 months before paid up, insurance cleared the balance of the loan and I pocked the rest, good old GAP insurance.

CG125 - Cash (all £300 of it :P)

Z750 - 30 months Interest Free, will be paid off in 7 months.

Yes I did own the SV before the CG as the Suzuki Interest Free deal was due to finish before I passed my test.

36 months interest free with a new SV, why not? Even if you have the cash to spend, better leaving it in your savings account and earning interest on it.

I see two people have voted stolen :D

Cash for me.

Re: How did you pay for your bike?
 

I used cash from the sale of my car when I got a company car.

I tend to always save and pay cash. My general rule is don't spend what you have not got. Although I would not be adverse to getting fianance. If you can get a new bike for £60 a month and your existing bike as a deposit then it's a deal worth going for.

I know and it ain't a private poll :smt066

Re: How did you pay for your bike?
 

cash cash cash on the last 17 bikes. Wave cash infront of someone who needs it and they will not let you walk away until they get some of it.
