I`ve done itboth ways in the past ,but cash works best for me. They seem to run much better when they are paid for.

 

Own the one in the background, still paying on the Spinger in the foreground. Hope to own it this next summer. Presently buying parts to build my own custom. Will own it when complete although it may take a few more years.

Same philosophy here (if you don't have cash you can't afford it) 05 Ultra and 01 Fatty.

 

I own a bunch of bikes
Paid cash for all of them
If I can't pay for what I want, then I just don't need it

 

Paid cash for all my bikes.

 

Mine is a 1993 that I just got in August. It was too old for the bank to loan money on so I had to use my paid off truck as colateral to get the money to buy it. So the bike is paid for but now I'm paying on my truck again....DAMN

 

Sold some company stock i had been buying payroll deduction and bought my 2001 RK last year and a 96 Vulcan for the wife.

 

Paid cash. Had it and didn't want interest chewing away at me.

 

I don't own the bike, the bike owns me. At least for now.[&:]

 

I own all of mine. I have a old 66 Bonnie chopper, I have a 98 Softail Custom, and a 2007 Electra Glide Ultra, which is the biggest pile of s#!t Harley has ever put out, and if I had not paid cash for it I would have stopped the check or had the credit card company go to court to get their money.
