1st bike - Kawasaki AR125 - cash
2nd bike - Honda CB250RS - swapped with my kwak cos it was a pig in a poke
3rd bike - Yamaha XJ550 - sold CB and paid difference with cash
4th bike - Honda CB400SF - bank loan
5th bike - Honda Hornet - trade in plus finance from dealer
6th bike - Honda CBR600 - trade in plus cash
7th bike - Honda Hornet - trade in plus dealer finance (still paying)

and yes they are expensive toys - but what fun they bring

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

Cash for me.

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.

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.
