Traded a '03 Volusia & paid the difference in cash, so I own it. Currently saving for a custom kit bike & the wait is interminable!! I'll get there eventually!

I had to finance mine, there is no way that I would be getting enough money to buy one outright at my age. I am only 19 and I couldn't fathom not riding. So far this year has been great and I have already put 1600 miles on my sporty. Even though payments are the greatest I wouldn't have it any other way right now I love my HD it keeps me sane.

Toys are never bought on credit. Credit is for houses, cars, and emergencies. Explains why I have never had a new bike until this one.

I financed mine. Put 2k down. made payments for 5 months. Then used a bonus from work and paid 6k down. Withdrew a bunch of money from investments to put 20% down on a house i'm getting ready to buy. I think i'm going to have a bunch of extra money left over, so I'm probably going to use what's left over to hopefully pay off the bike.
I don't like to have more than one monthly note due. So I'm trying to trade the bike note for a mortgage and associated utilities....
