Why? So someday you can borrow more money for more crap you can't afford? All that interest paid to one day possess the coveted credit score.

I don't understand the reasoning behind paying 9% or more interest to a bank if you got the whole amount in the same bank that gives you 1 or 2% interest at best.Different story if you don't have the money,in that case financing might be justified.

I have done that on a bunch of other purchases. I should have done it on the Lo, but I did not even think about it. I just wanted to get the bike and get out of the dealership.

LOOK everyone at the zero down and 4.99% for 5 years on the Triumph banner ad.

Quick run down to the dealer and get one!!!!! Just think in five years it will be yours.
