Default Financed or paid up front?

Curious who's financed versus paying in full up front.

Harleys are expensive compared to many things. Americans are usually NOW people and won't wait until they can afford something they want.

Given the amount of money spent on customizing these bikes I'd find it somewhat ironic that people are making payments on something they don't technically own and spending thousands on modifications at the same time.

I bought my Road King with cash. Same for my last 4 bikes. I hate being in debt.

Took a loan at my CU for my current ride. I could write a check for it at any point, but I like having that cash in the savings account.

Paid in full - did not want to be a slave to the lender.
