Payments here - just made sense. The interest rate on the loan is less than the interest made on the investments. This way I use their money and make more. Course if it ever flips, the bike is paid off damn quick....

Chances are that if you have to finance your bike thru Harley Davidson or a bank selected by the dealer, you probably cannot afford it in the first place. They rake in more profit from the financing than the bike itself and you end up with a bike that has a bigger note than it's worth. Hopefully this hasn't offended anyone, but it's proven fact.

I'm 22 years old, and still have two years left of college. So at the end of this week i'll be driving my first harley. Now since its a lot of money for someone my age(and for most people who are older) I will be making payments on this. Perhaps in the future when I'm older and am making more money than I am now I'll be able to purchase a new harley in full in cash.
